MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nortech Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: NSYS), a leading provider of full-service electronics manufacturing services (EMS), announced that its board of directors has approved another installment of a stock repurchase program similar to the company’s inaugural repurchase program that expired last month.
The approved program authorizes the company to repurchase shares of its common stock in an amount up to $250,000 up through July 2019, in amounts of up to $62,500 per quarter. Under the prior repurchase program, which started in August 2017, the company spent substantially all of the $250,000 that was authorized.
“The next installment of this repurchase program shows that Nortech’s board and management continue to share confidence in our future direction and potential,” said Rich Wasielewski, Nortech Systems’ president and CEO. “Our strategic initiatives are gaining traction across all our locations and markets, aided by the improving global economic outlook.”
In addition, Nortech Systems’ chairman of the board, David Kunin, has concurrently established a plan to purchase shares of Nortech common stock in an amount up to $25,000 up through July 2019.
The purchases by the company and Kunin will be made in the open market in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements and are subject to market conditions, share price, available cash and other factors. The plans do not obligate the company or Kunin to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
