CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Byline Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BY) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 1.25 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The shares authorized to be repurchased represent approximately 3.3% of the Company’s currently outstanding common stock. The program will be in effect until December 31, 2020, unless earlier terminated.
“We continue to be optimistic about our opportunities to execute on our organic and acquisitive growth strategies in the coming years and further enhance the value of our franchise,” said Alberto Paracchini, President and Chief Executive Officer of Byline Bancorp. “We believe the stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors will enhance our ability to efficiently manage our capital and provide another tool for creating value for our shareholders.”
Under the newly authorized program, the shares may, at the discretion of management, be repurchased from time to time in open market purchases as market conditions warrant or in privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, all as effected to the extent permitted by applicable law, including pursuant to the safe harbor provided under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and share price of shares purchased under the repurchase program will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements.
