WINDSOR, Conn., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced that as part of the Company's long-term strategy to maximize stockholder value, its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock from time to time in one or more transactions on the open market or in privately negotiated purchases.

The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with SS&C's stock plans and for other corporate purposes.

"This repurchase program demonstrates the Board's confidence in our current and future prospects. We will opportunistically repurchase our stock, while maintaining ample liquidity to have the flexibility to support our growth," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies.
