 As announced, we will use the shares for treasury purposes, financing of acquisitions, and long-term incentivisation of management. Knowing the company's excellent track record and growth opportunities, ALSO is one of the best investments. It is therefore possible that we launch another buyback initiative emphasises Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN).
