NEW YORK, March 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") under which it may repurchase up to $125.0 million of shares of its outstanding Class A common stock. The Repurchase Program will expire on March 23, 2025.

Under the Repurchase Program, share repurchases may be made at the Company's discretion from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices (including through trading plans that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), in privately negotiated transactions, or through other means.

The Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company's Board of Directors will review the Repurchase Program periodically and may authorize adjustments of its terms if appropriate.

"This program reinforces the confidence of Stagwell's Board in our financial strength, the transformative results of our combination, and the rigorous strategic management our team has applied to the business," said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO, Stagwell.
