CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the world’s largest recreational boat, yacht and superyacht services company, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan. Under the plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock during the period beginning today and ending March 31, 2026. This plan replaces the March 2020 plan (the “2020 plan”), as amended, which authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares and which was set to expire on March 31, 2024. Approximately 1,080,000 shares had been repurchased under the 2020 plan as of March 5, 2024.
The new stock repurchase program allows MarineMax to purchase common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated block purchase transactions. The number of shares purchased and the timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s stock and general market conditions. The Company intends to repurchase shares to mitigate the dilutive effect of restricted stock, and shares repurchased may be reserved for later reissue in connection with employee benefit plans and other general corporate purposes.
As of March 5, 2024, the Company had 22,299,588 shares of common stock outstanding.
