DLH Announces $1 Million Share Repurchase Plan
ATLANTA, Sept. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative healthcare services and solutions to federal agencies, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved a new plan to repurchase up to $1,000,000 of shares of DLH’s common stock. Share repurchases may be made through open market transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, privately negotiated transactions, or other means. The Company did not set an expiration date for this plan. Any repurchase activity will depend on factors such as the Company’s working capital needs, applicable legal requirements, economic and market conditions, and other relevant factors. DLH had 12,036,161 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 1, 2019.
“Given our robust cash flow and current market valuation, we believe that repurchasing outstanding shares is a smart use of cash. We are positioned to implement this plan, in part, because we have already satisfied our required debt repayments for the next 15 months,” stated Zach Parker, President and Chief Executive Officer of DLH. “We are confident we will maintain the financial resources necessary to continue to grow our business for the benefit of our shareholders and simultaneously repay our debt, on or ahead of schedule, for the benefit of our lenders.”
