Company has now repurchased $100 million of its Class A Common
stock since September of 2015
PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 11, 2016--
Green Dot Corporation (NYSE:GDOT), today announced that in February
2016, it entered into a definitive agreement with Bank of America
Merrill Lynch to purchase a total of $50 million of its Class A common
stock under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction, with actual
repurchase activity under that agreement being subject to certain
conditions that have now been met.
On Green Dot’s Q4 earnings call, management announced its “Six Step Plan
to achieve $1.75 in EPS by 2017” and reiterated its commitment to spend
an additional $50 million of its cash-on-hand this year as part of the
Company’s previously announced $150 million share repurchase program.
Under the agreement, Green Dot will receive an initial delivery of
approximately 1.9 million shares. The final number of shares to be
repurchased and the aggregate cost per share to Green Dot will be based
on Green Dot’s volume-weighted average stock price during the term of
the transaction, which is expected to be completed by November 2016.
Green Dot has now repurchased $100 million of its Class A common stock
since September of 2015 when Green Dot’s regulators first approved the
program. The Company is committed to executing the remaining $50 million
under its $150 million repurchase authorization by 2017.
