CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the Company to buy up to $25 million of its common stock.

“Authorizing a repurchase program provides us with an additional tool to allocate our capital effectively and capture an attractive opportunity when our stock is trading at a significant discount,” said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer. “This action demonstrates our commitment to maximizing shareholder returns as well as our confidence in CBL’s current and future value. Our strong cash balance and significant cash flow generation provide an ongoing source to support this program and other opportunities.”

Repurchase Program

The Company plans to repurchase shares from time to time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions and all in compliance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.

The size and timing of any purchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, general business and market conditions, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Purchases may be made through the program by August 10, 2024.
