Business Wire
Logistic Properties of the Americas (NYSE American: LPA)
(together with its subsidiaries, “LPA” or the “Company”), announced
today that its Board of Directors has authorized a 12-month share
repurchase program (the "Program") to buy back up to $10 million of
the Company's outstanding ordinary shares, effective November 22,
2024. Under this program, LPA may repurchase its shares from time
to time, based on equity market conditions, legal requirements, and
other corporate considerations, under a 10b5-1 plan or similar
trading arrangement. The Company intends to fund any repurchase of
its shares using cash from operations. Any repurchased shares will
be held in LPA’s treasury.
Esteban Saldarriaga, Chief Executive Office of LPA, said, “Our
decision to initiate this share repurchase program underscores our
confidence in the strength of our business and our commitment to
delivering long-term value to our shareholders. By repurchasing
shares, we aim to address the current market dislocation in our
stock and highlight the intrinsic value of our extensively
dollar-denominated real assets and platform, supported by
creditworthy multinational customers.”
LPA’s share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time
by the Board of Directors, and the Company has no obligation to
repurchase any amount of its ordinary shares under the program. The
Company intends to enter into a 10b5-1 trading plan (the "Plan") to
facilitate share repurchases under the Program. The Plan will be
administered through an independent broker and will be subject to
the rules of NYSE American and applicable securities laws and
regulations, including Rule 10b-18 and 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (The "Exchange Act"). The Company
intends to make all repurchases in compliance with applicable
regulatory guidelines and to administer the plan in accordance with
applicable laws, including Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the
Exchange Act.
