IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a telematics pioneer leading transformation in a global connected economy, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new stock repurchase program of $20 million.
"The decision by management and CalAmp's Board to authorize a new stock repurchase program demonstrates our confidence in the foundation of our core business and our efforts to transition to a SaaS solutions provider," said Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Further building upon the success of our previous stock repurchase efforts, this new program underscores our belief in the long term prospects for the company. Our strong balance sheet and free cash flow give us the flexibility to continue to invest in the growth of our business while also allowing us to opportunistically return capital to our shareholders through buybacks."
Under the repurchase program, CalAmp may repurchase stock in open-market purchases in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The extent to which CalAmp repurchases its stock, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, as determined by CalAmp's management team. The Company has approximately 34.3 million shares of common stock outstanding at the present time.
The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company expects to fund the repurchases with cash on hand.
