LOD, Israel, Jan. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioCodes (NASDAQ:
AUDC), a leading vendor of advanced voice networking and media
processing solutions for the digital workplace, today announced
that it has received Israeli court approval to repurchase up to an
additional $12 million ("Permitted
Amount") of its Ordinary Shares, NIS
0.01 nominal value. The share repurchases will be funded
from available working capital. The court approval also permits the
Company to declare a dividend of any part of the Permitted Amount
during the approved validity period. The most recent court
approval for share repurchases expired on December 14, 2018 and the new approval is valid
through July 1, 2019.
Any share purchases may take place in open market transactions
or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made from time
to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume
and other factors. Such purchases will be made in accordance with
all applicable securities laws and regulations. For all or a
portion of the authorized repurchase amount, AudioCodes may enter
into a plan that is compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the United States
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is designed to facilitate
these purchases. The repurchase program does not require AudioCodes
to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended from
time to time or discontinued.
The court approval does not commit the Company to repurchase any
shares or declare any cash dividends, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will decide to effect repurchases or declare cash
dividends payable to its shareholders.
