Further to the share buy-back programme announced on 10 February 2012, Nutreco announces that during the period from 10 February 2012 until and including 17 February 2012, Nutreco purchased 72,088 of its shares at an average price of EUR 53.98 per share. The total number of shares repurchased under this programme to date is 72,088 common shares for a total consideration of EUR 3.9 million.

The share buy-back programme will ultimately terminate on 13 April 2012, unless the maximum number of 700,000 shares has been repurchased prior to such date. In that case the programme will end on the date on which this maximum is reached and such early termination will immediately be disclosed.
