Abstract

This article serves as an introduction to the theory and practice of share repurchase done by public companies. The main reasons for share re­purchase procedures carried out by issuers have been studied, and the flaws and risks of such ac­tivities have been pointed out. Attention has been given to the effects on share prices and share­holders’ interests. The second half of the article deals with the practices of Bulgarian public com­panies. It is apparent that this corporate activity is still little-known and poorly implemented in Bul­garia. It cannot be claimed that its weak spread is at the cost of dividend policy, since public compa­nies are not consistent with regards to it too.
