Company Also Extends 10b5-1 Share Repurchase Plan BUFFALO, N.Y.,
June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CTG (NASDAQ:CTGX), an
international information technology (IT) solutions and services
company, today announced that it has been added to the Russell
3000(R) Index, effective after the close of trading on Friday, June
26, 2009. CTG also announced today that it extended a stock
repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Company 10b5-1 Plan") to facilitate the repurchase
of its common stock. The Company has approximately 0.9 million
shares available for repurchase as of June 26, 2009 under its
outstanding repurchase authorizations. The Russell 3000(R) Index
measures the stock performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies,
based on total market capitalization. Russell indexes are widely
used by investment managers and institutional investors for index
funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment
strategies. Based on its market capitalization, CTG is also
included in the Russell 2000(R) Index, which is a subset of the
Russell 3000(R) Index and includes the smallest 2,000 companies
included in that index. Russell determines index membership by
objective, market capitalization rankings and all Russell indexes
are reconstituted annually in June to ensure that they are truly
representative of global equity markets. "We are pleased to be
added to the Russell 3000(R) Index as it increases CTG's profile
with the investment community at a time when we are focused on
growing our strong health IT business and capitalizing on our
significant experience in electronic medical records systems," said
CTG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James R. Boldt. "As an
active buyer of shares under our repurchase program, we continue to
believe CTG's stock is attractively priced at recent levels. As
such, we are again extending our 10b5-1 plan as it gives us the
ability to repurchase shares during our self-imposed blackout
periods prior to the announcement of quarterly results." The 10b5-1
plan is effective from July 9, 2009 until the day following the
Company's release of its 2009 second quarter financial results. CTG
adopted the initial 10b5-1 plan on April 5, 2007 to allow for the
repurchase of shares during the time following the close of a
quarter and the announcement of quarterly financial results when
its self-imposed stock repurchase policy does not allow for the
direct purchase of shares by the Company. Repurchases are subject
to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market, volume, and
timing constraints specified in the plan. The plan does not require
that any shares be purchased. About CTG Backed by over 40 years'
