Exhibit 99.1
Garmin® Extends Share Repurchase Program and Adopts Rule 10b5-1 Plan
Schaffhausen, Switzerland / December 14, 2016/ Business Wire
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland—(BUSINESS WIRE) – The Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) board of directors authorized an extension through December 31, 2017 of its current $300 million Share Repurchase Program. There is currently $80.4 million remaining for share repurchases under this current $300 million Share Repurchase Program. The amount and timing of the repurchases are determined by management and depend on market and business conditions. Garmin Ltd. adopted a Rule 10b5-1 plan (the “Plan”) in connection with the extended share repurchase authorization.
A plan under Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by Garmin will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the Plan to repurchase shares on the company’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Because the repurchases under the Plan are subject to certain pricing parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the Plan, or that there will be any repurchases pursuant to the Plan.
