(the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases will be made from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, and will include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. A committee of the Company’s Board of Directors comprised of Maurice M. Taylor Jr., Paul G. Reitz and Mark H. Rachesky, has been appointed to supervise the share repurchase program, based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the indenture governing the Company’s senior secured notes, and other factors. The share repurchase program will be effective as of the end of the third business day after the Company releases its first quarter 2019 financial results.
