Chubb Limited Board Approves New Share Repurchase Programme worth US$5 Billion
Chubb has announced that its Board of Directors has granted approval for a new share repurchase programme worth $5 billion.

The programme will commence on 1st July 2023 and has no set expiration date. The existing share repurchase authorisation of the company will remain in effect until 30th June 2023.

Speaking about the move, Peter Enns, Chief Financial Officer of Chubb Limited, stated, “This new open-ended programme does not signify any change in our capital management strategy or the expected amount of stock repurchased over time. However, it does enhance our execution flexibility.”

The specific timing and quantity of share repurchases under this authorisation will be determined at the discretion of management. The repurchases will be subject to market conditions, other business considerations, and applicable legal requirements. They may take place through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated repurchases, or via option or other forward transactions.
