Large publicly traded corporations often buy back their own stock in order to boost share value for their executives and investors. This practice has accelerated as a result of recent changes in tax law that benefited major corporations and the wealthiest Americans.

The National Press Club is located on the 13th Floor of the National Press Building at 529 14th St., NW, Washington, D.C. This Headliners Newsmaker event is open to credentialed media and Press Club members free of charge, with advance registration required. Please click here to register.
