Luna Innovations Incorporated Announces Stock Repurchase Program
ROANOKE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Luna Innovations Incorporated (LUNA) (NASDAQ (NBI): LUNA) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $2 million of Luna’s common stock.
“Our management team and Board of Directors believe strongly in our long-term growth prospects and our ability to improve our profitability and cash flow. The initiation of this stock repurchase program demonstrates our commitment to building shareholder value as well as confidence in achieving long-term growth,” said My Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna.
The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Luna’s working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Under its share repurchase program, the company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or tender offers. Open market repurchases of common stock may be made pursuant to trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that Luna might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The $2 million share repurchase authorization expires on May 31, 2017 (unless extended), and does not obligate the company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.
The repurchase program will be funded using Luna’s working capital. As of March 31, 2016, Luna had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.2 million.
Luna had approximately 27.5 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2016.
