ALPHA PRO TECH, LTD. ANNOUNCES $1 MILLION EXPANSION OF SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
03 October 2024 - 5:30AM
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (NYSE American: APT), a leading manufacturer
of products designed to protect people, products and environments,
including disposable protective apparel and building products,
today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $1.0
million expansion of the Company’s existing share repurchase
program.
With this authorized expansion, the Company now
has approximately $1.5 million available to repurchase shares of
the Company’s common stock, $0.5 million of which remains from the
previous expansion, most recently announced in April 2024.
Management anticipates repurchasing shares
through open market purchases or through privately-negotiated
transactions and intends to retire all shares purchased through the
share repurchase program. Open market purchases may be executed by
the Company’s broker through a pre-arranged repurchase plan, which
operates in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule
10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Any transactions under the repurchase plan will be
effected in accordance with the terms of the plan, including
specified price, volume and timing conditions, and will be applied
against the amount authorized for the Company’s share repurchase
program. Other open market and privately-negotiated purchases may
occur from time to time outside the repurchase plan based on market
and general business conditions, subject to applicable rules and
regulations.
