REDWOOD CITY, April 18, 2017 — Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY) today announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $140.0 million to its ongoing share repurchase program, bringing the total authorized amount available for repurchase to $202.8 million. From January 2014 to March 31, 2017, Shutterfly has repurchased 9.8 million shares for a total of $437.2 million, including 430 thousand shares for $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.

The repurchase program authorizes Shutterfly to buy its common stock from time to time through open market, privately negotiated or other transactions, including pursuant to trading plans established in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or by a combination of such methods. The share repurchase program is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations; does not require Shutterfly to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares; and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
