Stock Repurchase Program Update
As Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (the “Company”) reported in its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 on Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), through a series of actions and amendments, authorized a stock repurchase program (“Program”) of up to 5,000,000 shares at a price of up to 95% of the Company’s reported common shareholders’ equity per share as shown on the Company’s most current filed periodic report at the time of repurchase. The Company’s common shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2013 was $65.3 million resulting in common shareholders’ equity per share of $1.61. As a result, beginning March 21, 2014 the maximum price the Company may pay to repurchase stock was $1.53 per share, and will remain at that price until the maximum price is reset upon the filing of the Company’s 2014 Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 on Form 10-Q, or the plan is amended.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 2,066,305 shares at an average price of $1.29. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014 the Company repurchased an additional 680,235 shares at an average price of $1.28 per share. Through March 31, 2014 the Program had resulted in total repurchases of 2,746,540 shares at an average price of $1.29 per share.
On April 2, 2014, the Company acquired 750,000 shares at $1.53 per share from an unaffiliated seller, in a block purchase pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan initiated by the Company to acquire shares authorized by the Program. As a result of the April 2, 2014 purchase, as well as repurchase activity on April 1, 2014, the Company may repurchase another 1,485,460 shares under the existing Program’s 5,000,000 share limit.
