ING Groep N.V. (NYSE:ING) furnished a Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2026, attaching a press release that updates progress on its share buyback programme. According to the release, ING repurchased a total of 1,300,000 shares during the week of September 21 up to and including September 25, 2026, at an average price of EUR 31.93, for a total amount of EUR 41,509,042.50. With those purchases, the programme has reached EUR 820.5 million of its original EUR 1.0 billion.

The Weekly Update

The press release opens by stating that, "as part of our EUR 1.0 billion share buyback programme announced on 30 April 2026, in total 1,300,000 shares were repurchased during the week of 21 September up to and including 25 September 2026." It then gives the price detail: the shares "were repurchased at an average price of EUR 31.93 for a total amount of EUR 41,509,042.50."

Cumulative Progress

The release also sets out the programme's status to date. It says the total number of shares repurchased under the programme is 28,960,805, at an average price of EUR 28.33, for a total consideration of EUR 820,511,910.49. It describes the programme as approximately 82.05 percent complete relative to its maximum total value.

Those figures imply that roughly EUR 179.5 million of the EUR 1.0 billion maximum had not yet been used as of the end of the reporting week. That remaining amount is a calculation from the numbers in the release, not a figure stated in it. The cumulative average price of EUR 28.33 is below the EUR 31.93 average paid in the latest week, which reflects that earlier purchases were made at different prices.

The release states that the aim of the buyback is to reduce the share capital of ING. It does not go on to describe when or how any repurchased shares will be cancelled, and it does not specify a scheduled end date for the programme.
