Common Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s stock repurchase program was instituted in 1998 for the purpose of replenishing some or all of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of stock options and in connection with other stock compensation plans. The overall objective of the program is to reduce or eliminate earnings per share dilution caused by the issuance of such additional shares. Repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. To date, Actel’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of 5,000,000 shares under the program, and 3,389,197 shares of Common Stock have been repurchased on the open market.
“We continue to believe that our Common Stock repurchase program provides an excellent opportunity to increase shareholder value,” said John C. East, Actel president and CEO. “While any future stock repurchases are subject to market conditions and the consideration of alternative investment opportunities available from time to time, we remain committed to preserving and maximizing shareholder value.” The Company has remaining authority to repurchase 1,610,803 shares under the program.
