FRANKFURT, April 30 (Reuters) - RWE RWEG.DE will decide in early 2026 on whether to extend a standing 1.5 billion euro ($1.7 billion) share buyback programme, CFO Michael Mueller told shareholders at the group's annual general meeting.
RWE's Chief Executive Markus Krebber also said the programme, which currently runs until the second quarter of 2026, could be extended if no better investment alternatives are found.
Some shareholders, including activist investor Elliott ECAL.UL, have urged the group to expand its buyback programme to raise its share price.
