Item 8.01. Other Events
Cimpress N.V. is filing this amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 17, 2017 to clarify how the company plans to administer its share repurchase program.
On November 14, 2017, the Supervisory Board of Cimpress N.V. authorized the repurchase of up to 6,300,000 of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or in one or more self tender offers. This share repurchase authorization expires on May 14, 2019, and we may suspend or discontinue our share repurchases at any time. This new authorization replaces the previous repurchase program that our Supervisory Board approved in March 2017.
The Supervisory Board’s authorization does not necessarily mean that Cimpress will repurchase the full number of shares over the term of the repurchase program. Our management will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased based on its evaluation of many factors, including but not limited to our share price relative to our anticipated future cash flows; obligations under our equity compensation plans; our ability to use operating cash flow and/or debt to repurchase the shares while staying within our debt covenants which may not allow us to repurchase the full number of shares based on our leverage; the amount of cash and/or debt capacity we have for other uses including general operating purposes, acquisitions, mergers, or similar transactions; general shareholder concentration and liquidity concerns; and the purchase parameters set by our shareholders and the Supervisory Board. Any repurchased shares will be used for the issuance of shares under our equity compensation plans and, if so desired, for corporate acquisitions or similar transactions and any other valid corporate purposes. We expect to fund our share repurchases, if any, by using our operating cash flows or by drawing on our credit facility or other forms of debt financing.
