FAIRSTAR HEAVY TRANSPORT N.V. plans share repurchase program
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Fairstar Heavy Transport N.V. (FAIR) announces its intent to repurchase up to
1,200,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. Fairstar was given authority
by its shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting to repurchase up to ten
percent of its outstanding shares. Under the terms of the Company's bond loan
agreement, Fairstar can repurchase shares so long as they are repurchased to
satisfy the Company's obligations under its employee option program. Fairstar
has to date issued a total of 1,200,000 options to employees.
Ingmar den Blanken, Treasurer of Fairstar, "The current price level of our
shares provides us with a cost effective opportunity to satisfy our needs under
our employee option plan. This may change in the event of a sharp upward
movement in the share price. We have applied to the Oslo Stock Exchange to
purchase up to 50% of the daily turnover for the calendar month prior to
commencing this program today. The program will remain in effect for the next
thirty days. "
