W.T.B. Financial Corporation Enhances Share Repurchase Program
W.T.B. Financial Corporation recently made headlines with its announcement that it has amended its share repurchase plan. Originally set for $15 million, the new authorization allows for $30 million worth of Class B common stock to be repurchased. This significant modification is effective through February 28, 2026.
The repurchase of shares will be conducted under the newly amended plan intermittently on the open market via brokers or through privately negotiated agreements, leaving the execution to the discretion of the company's management. The decision on when and how much to repurchase will take into account various factors, notably prevailing market conditions and other corporate considerations.
The company assures stakeholders that it aims to follow the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a precautionary measure, this program can be suspended or entirely terminated at any point at the discretion of W.T.B. Financial Corporation’s Board of Directors, without prior notice.
