Pernod Ricard SA will begin a share buyback worth up to 300 million euros ($320.9 million) Monday, part of a EUR750 million program for the fiscal year.

The French distiller RI, +1.03% will buy back the share over a period extending to April 6 at the latest. The price paid per share will be a maximum of EUR320, Pernod Ricard said.

The group at its fiscal first-half results last week had flagged the imminent launch of the buyback, part of a EUR750 million program for fiscal 2023. The tranche follows an initial EUR150 million buyback carried out last year.
