Under the agreement, Goldman will make an initial delivery of 6 million shares, representing 80 percent of the total, with the final number of shares yet to be determined. However, based on the set purchase price, Birkenstock Holding plc (NYSE:BIRK) is set to receive over 7.5 million shares from the transaction.

Birkenstock Holding plc (NYSE:BIRK) said that it intends to fund the buyback through a combination of cash on hand and a revolving credit facility. It expects to close the transaction before June 30, 2026.

“Short-term market dynamics have resulted in what we believe is a strong disconnect between our share price and the strength of our underlying fundamentals,” Birkenstock Holding plc (NYSE:BIRK) CEO Oliver Reichert said.

”We believe deploying our substantial cash position toward repurchasing our own shares represents the most attractive use of capital in the current environment. Given the volatile environment of the capital markets, we will continue evaluating market conditions to take advantage of further opportunities for share repurchases in the future,” he noted.

The agreement is not guaranteed and is subject to certain customary adjustments and termination provisions.
