Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 6, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Post Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a $250 million share repurchase authorization that is in addition to the existing $300 million share repurchase authorization previously approved by the Board on February 2, 2016. Approximately $48 million remained available under the previously approved authorization as of May 31, 2017. The new authorization will extend for a two-year period beginning on the date of the Board’s approval. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic purchase transactions, or otherwise. The shares would be purchased with cash on hand and cash from operations. Any shares repurchased would be held as treasury stock. The authorization does not, however, obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and repurchases may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. A press release announcing the additional repurchase authorization is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
