Item 8.01: Other Events
Limited Quarterly Stock Repurchase Program
On December 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of Union Bankshares, Inc. reauthorized a limited stock repurchase program, initially authorized in May, 2010, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 2,500 shares of its common stock (subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments) each calendar quarter in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, as management may deem advisable and as market conditions may warrant. The repurchase authorization for a calendar quarter expires at the end of that quarter to the extent it has not been exercised, and is not carried forward into future quarters. The limited quarterly authorization is not intended to be the exclusive means for effecting stock repurchases. As reauthorized, the quarterly repurchase program will expire on December 31, 2012.
The reauthorization of the limited repurchase program was announced in a press release dated December 27, 2011, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
To date, the Company has repurchased 5,004 shares of common stock at a total cost of $90 thousand pursuant to the original authorization, which had an expiration date of December 31, 2011.
