BNSO Bonso Electronics International Inc

Bonso Electronics International, Inc. (NASDAQ:BNSO) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to $1.5 million of its common stock.

The share repurchase plan will remain in place over the next 24 months.  Based on the closing price of the Bonso’s share of $1.19 on 28 September 2015, this would be equivalent to approximately 1.17 million shares or 23% of the outstanding shares.  Bonso’s chief executive officer, Anthony So said, "The repurchase reflects Bonso’s commitment to efficient capital management and delivering improved returns to shareholders. Further, we believe that our stock is undervalued and the repurchases are in the best interests of our shareholders."

He added: "At the same time, we are maintaining flexibility to respond to changes in market conditions and to take advantage of appropriate growth opportunities that may develop in the future."

Bonso intends to repurchase shares from time to time for cash in open market transactions or in privately-negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws.  The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company's management and Board based on its evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives, and other factors.  The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice.
