Charles River Associates (CRA) Announces Final Results of Its Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer

Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial, and management consulting services, today announced the results of its previously announced modified “Dutch auction” self-tender offer to purchase for cash up to $25 million in value of shares of its common stock at a price not less than $66.25 and not greater than $76.00 per share. The tender offer expired at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on Monday, April 5, 2021.

Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the tender offer, a total of 417,300 shares of common stock were duly tendered and not withdrawn at or below the purchase price of $74.00. Because the number of shares tendered exceeds $25 million in value, the tender offer is oversubscribed. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the tender offer, CRA will purchase shares of common stock from all tendering shareholders (excluding odd lots and conditional tenders where the condition was not satisfied) on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, approximately 79.4% of shares of common stock for each shareholder (excluding odd lots) who properly tendered shares at or below the purchase price of $74.00 have been accepted for payment. In the aggregate, 337,837 shares of common stock were purchased at the same price of $74.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer.

CRA will promptly pay for the common stock with funds borrowed under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Following consummation of the tender offer, CRA will have approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. Any questions about the tender offer should be directed to the information agent, Georgeson LLC at (800) 676-0098.
