NEW YORK, May 15, 2020
/CNW/ - Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY) today announced that
its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program
that authorizes the Company to purchase up to 530,000 shares of the
Company's Class A non-voting common stock, representing
approximately 4.2% of its 12,636,523 currently issued and
outstanding shares of Class A non-voting common stock. This
authorization will supplement the 98,625 shares that remain

repurchase program is expected to continue indefinitely.
Any such share purchases will be made by the Company from time
to time in the open market at the prevailing open market price
using cash on hand, in compliance with the applicable rules and
regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, state corporate law and
federal and state securities laws and the terms of the Company's
senior secured debt. All shares purchased will be
canceled. The timing and amounts of any purchases under the
program will be determined by management in its discretion based on
market and economic conditions and other factors including price,
legal and regulatory requirements and capital availability.
The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to
repurchase any dollar amount or number of Class A non-voting common
shares. Depending on market conditions and other factors,
these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time
without prior notice.
