Kimball Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:KE), today announced that the
Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (the
“Company”), at its Oct. 21, 2015 meeting, authorized an eighteen
(18)-month stock repurchase plan (“Plan”), allowing a repurchase of
up to $20,000,000 worth of common stock of the Company. The Plan
may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Purchases may be made under various programs, including in
open-market transactions, block transactions on or off an exchange,
or in privately negotiated transactions, all in accordance with
applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases may

timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors,
including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other
corporate considerations, as determined by the Company’s management
team. The Company expects to finance the purchases with existing
liquidity.
“This announcement comes on the heels of a record fiscal year,”
said Mike Sergesketter, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
“It reflects our Board and senior management belief that our cash
flow and growth strategy are not reflected in the Company’s current
stock price. This stock repurchase program demonstrates our
