"Lindsay has maintained a robust balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation priorities focused on delivering value to shareholders," said Brian Ketcham, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Lindsay Corporation. "This authorization provides us with the flexibility to return capital to shareholders while maintaining the financial strength to continue investing in growth opportunities and innovation."
Share repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, or through other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, and will depend on a number of factors, including the trading price of the Company's common stock, general market and business conditions, and applicable securities laws. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
