TaskUs Announces $100 Million Share Repurchase Program
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK) (“TaskUs” or the “Company”), a provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to fast-growing technology companies, announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the commencement of a share repurchase program, which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $100 million of shares of its Class A common stock.
“This share repurchase program reinforces the confidence that our Board and management team have in the Company’s strategy and future growth prospects. Given our strong cash generation, we believe that our current valuation presents an attractive buying opportunity. We will continue to invest in our business for growth, and pursue repurchases as a strategic use of excess free cash flow to create long-term shareholder value. Our strong balance sheet and relatively low leverage ratio provides us the flexibility to capitalize on organic and inorganic growth opportunities,” said TaskUs Co-Founder and CEO, Bryce Maddock.
The Board unanimously approved the establishment of a share repurchase program and believes that this is a prudent use of cash given the current valuation.
TaskUs may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. Open market repurchases are expected to be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, restrictions under the terms of our loan agreements and other considerations. This repurchase program terminates on December 31, 2024, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock.
