Beacon Announces Additional $225 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
10 Mai 2024 - 10:30PM
Business Wire
Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN) announced today that it has entered into
an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with Citibank N.A
to repurchase $225 million of Beacon’s common stock.
“Creating shareholder value is central to today’s announcement
to continue share repurchases under our previously announced and
authorized program,” said Julian Francis, President & CEO of
Beacon. “We continue to pursue our balanced capital allocation plan
investing in growth and returns to shareholders. Our Ambition 2025
plan has demonstrated our ability to do both and, at the same time,
deliver on margin improvement and cash flow. This ASR further
emphasizes our confidence in the resiliency of our business model
and our team’s strong execution.”
Under the ASR, Beacon will make a pre-payment of $225 million to
Citibank, N.A and will initially receive a prorated quantity of
Beacon’s common stock. The final number of shares to be repurchased
will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of
Beacon’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount
and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR. The
final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2024.
