Pacific City Financial Corporation (the “Company”) announced that on March 28, 2019, its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $6.5 million of the Company’s common stock through March 27, 2020.
Under the stock repurchase program, Company may purchase shares of its common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with Company’s general business conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock.
As part of the stock repurchase program, Company is entering into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan is administered by an independent broker and is subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions.
