The board of directors of Command Center, Inc. (OTCQB: CCNI), a national provider of on-demand and temporary staffing solutions, has authorized a new three-year, $5.0 million stock repurchase program, effective September 5, 2017.
The program replaces the company’s prior three-year, $5.0 million repurchase program, which was put into place on April 20, 2015. Under the prior plan, approximately 6.1 million shares were purchased and retired for $2.9 million, or approximately $0.47 per share. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the company suspended purchases under the prior 2015 repurchase plan, and no shares have been purchased subsequent to that time. As of the effective date of the current 2017 repurchase plan, the prior 2015 plan is no longer in effect.
“Share repurchases have and will continue to be an important component of our capital allocation strategy,” said Bubba Sandford, president and CEO of Command Center. “Our strong financial results for the past several quarters have strengthened our balance sheet, providing not only the flexibility to opportunistically repurchase our own shares but also allowing us to continue evaluating additional store openings and potential acquisitions. We continue to believe these strategies are optimal for driving long-term shareholder value.”
The shares authorized to be repurchased under the new repurchase program may be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market or in negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. Activity in the repurchase program will begin immediately and will be funded using the company’s working capital. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the company or the timeframe within which they may be purchased. The company may discontinue repurchases under the plan if management determines additional repurchases are not warranted.
