Health Catalyst Announces $40 Million Share Repurchase Program
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst," Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $40 million of its Common Stock, effective immediately.
“This share repurchase program demonstrates our confidence in the future of our business and our commitment to creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders, our customers and our team members,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “We believe the current market does not reflect the long-term value of our shares of common stock and this share repurchase program will allow us to unlock more of the long-term value and opportunity we see ahead.”
Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at Health Catalyst’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Health Catalyst may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate Health Catalyst to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of Health Catalyst’s board of directors.
Health Catalyst expects to fund repurchases with existing cash and cash equivalents, working capital, cash flow from operations or funds available through various borrowing arrangements. As of June 30, 2022, Health Catalyst had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $403.3 million.
