FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mindray Announces Up to $100 Million Share Repurchase Program
Shenzhen, China – November 7, 2011 – Mindray Medical International Limited (“Mindray” or “Company”, NYSE: MR), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices worldwide, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program. The share repurchase program is authorized to be in effect through December 2012.
Under the program, Mindray is authorized to repurchase up to US$100 million worth of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares, from time to time, in open-market purchases on the NYSE Euronext of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at prevailing market prices, in trades pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan, or otherwise, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including the anti-manipulation provisions of Rule 10b-18, promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10b-18”). The Company expects to use cash, internally generated funds, and/or bank borrowings to finance the repurchase.
Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion, subject to restrictions on price, volume, and timing. The timing and extent of any purchases will depend upon market conditions and the trading price of its ADSs, as well as other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Mindray to make repurchases at any specific time or situation. Mindray’s Board will periodically review the share repurchase program and may authorize adjustments to the program’s terms and size. The share repurchase program may also be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Mr. Xu Hang, Chairman and co-Chief Executive Officer of Mindray, commented, “This share buyback program reflects our confidence in the long-term growth prospects of Mindray, as well as our commitment to increasing shareholder value. In addition, we believe we have a strong balance sheet and expect to continue to actively pursue other growth opportunities.”
