Article content

Shopify’s Board of Directors has authorized an increase to the Company’s share repurchase program, bringing the aggregate authorization for repurchases of Class A subordinate voting shares to $5 billion (approximately $6.9 billion CAD). Purchases under the increased share repurchase program will commence on June 8, 2026. The overall program has no fixed expiration date, and may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any time, subject to applicable laws. Repurchases may be made through open-market purchases on the Nasdaq, privately negotiated transactions including block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other means, in each case in compliance with applicable securities laws. The timing, number, and value of any Class A subordinate voting shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and alternative investment opportunities. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the maximum number of Class A subordinate voting shares repurchased will not exceed 5% of Shopify’s issued and outstanding Class A subordinate voting shares.
