When a company makes an offer to buy back some of its own shares. There are several types of buy-backs. Three common types are: 1. An equal access scheme - when the company offers to buy back the same proportion of each shareholder's shares; 2. A selective buy-back - when the company offers to buy back shares from only one or some of its shareholders; or, 3. The company may buy the shares on the exchange where the shares are traded.
