Share Repurchase Program
On May 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (the “Company”) authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase price not to exceed
$2 million. The plan expires on December 31, 2017. Share repurchases may be executed through various means, including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or tender offers. The repurchases will be funded from cash on hand or other capital markets sources. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
The Company has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Plan”) in connection with the Share Repurchase Program. The Plan allows the Company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Because
repurchases under the Plan are subject to certain pricing parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the Plan or that there will be any repurchases pursuant to the Plan. Subject to applicable regulations, the Company may elect to amend or cancel the Plan at its discretion.
