Today : Thursday 28 July 2011
Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a 2-for-1 split of its common stock. The split will be effected in the form of a stock dividend payable on August 26, 2011, to shareholders of record on August 12, 2011. Shareholders will receive one additional share for each share of common stock held on the record date.
As of today, there are approximately 11,519,260 shares of the company's common stock outstanding. Immediately following the distribution of the stock dividend, there will be approximately 23,038,520 shares of the company's common stock outstanding.
"The Board's action conveys its confidence in the long-term prospects for Clearwater Paper and is a recognition of the significant appreciation in the company’s stock price since our spinoff," said Gordon L. Jones, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Additionally, we hope the stock split will improve the company's stock liquidity."
Clearwater Paper also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of the company's common stock from time to time. Under the stock repurchase program, Clearwater Paper may repurchase shares in the open market or as otherwise may be determined by management, subject to market conditions, business opportunities, and other factors.
“We expect to use the stock repurchase program to help offset dilution from the issuance of shares under the company’s equity incentive plan and to return value to our stockholders. Our strong balance sheet gives us the flexibility to continue to execute our growth strategies while we implement the stock repurchase program,” said Jones.
The company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under the stock repurchase program. The company has no obligation to repurchase shares under this program and may suspend or terminate the program at any time. The company intends to finance any repurchases with cash on hand.
