ASHBURN, Va., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telos ® Corporation (NASDAQ: TLS), a leading provider of cyber, cloud and enterprise security solutions for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock.
“This share repurchase program underscores the confidence that the Board of Directors and senior management have in the Company’s performance and our commitment to creating shareholder value,” said John B. Wood, CEO and chairman, Telos. “We will continue to balance our capital allocation strategy between investment in organic growth and inorganic growth, prudent management of our balance sheet and liquidity profile, and now also distribution of capital to shareholders.”
Under the repurchase program, Telos may purchase shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will be determined by management depending on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions, the Company’s cash flow and liquidity profile, and other business considerations. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
Repurchases under this program will be funded from Telos’ existing cash and cash equivalents and future cash flow. As of March 31, 2022, Telos had $120.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.
