JGWPT Holdings Announces Approval of Share Repurchase Program
RADNOR, PA., (Business Wire), May 21, 2014 – JGWPT Holdings Inc. (NYSE: JGW) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to use up to an aggregate of $15 million to repurchase shares of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). Purchases by the Company under this program may be made from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase programs, issuer self-tender offers or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and as determined by the Company’s management.
“We see our Class A Common Stock as a compelling investment at current levels”, said David Miller, Chief Executive Officer of JGWPT Holdings Inc.
This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock. The pace of repurchase activity will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, cash requirements for investment in the Company’s business, repayment of debt, current stock price, market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time and has no set expiration date.
