Are there any indications that the buy‑back programme will be accelerated or extended beyond the current timeline?

Answer

Based on the information released in the interim report — which simply informs the market about the transactions that have taken place under the existing Share Buy‑Back Programme — there is no mention of any change to the programme’s schedule. The report does not:

  1. Suggest an acceleration of the buy‑back (i.e., a higher‑than‑planned pace or a shortened completion window).
  2. Propose an extension (i.e., additional shares to be repurchased, a longer deadline, or a new tranche of the programme).

The only content disclosed is a recap of the buy‑back activity to date, without any forward‑looking statements about modifying the timing, size, or duration of the programme.

Conclusion: From the interim report that Banco Comercial Português, S.A. (BCP) issued, there are no indications that the share buy‑back programme will be accelerated or extended beyond its current timeline. Any such change would likely be announced in a separate, dedicated communication (e.g., a press release, a board decision announcement, or an updated share‑buy‑back plan), none of which is referenced in the provided news.
