On February 8, 2024, Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase program. Under the new program, the Company may purchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock over the next 24 months, as market conditions warrant. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at prices that the Company deems appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant in the Company’s sole discretion. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. This new $2.0 billion program replaces the previous program that had been scheduled to expire on May 16, 2024 of which approximately $1.7 billion was available.
A copy of the press release announcing the new repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference and constitutes a part of this report.
