PCTEL Board of Directors Authorizes Increase of Stock Buyback Program

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions announced today that the PCTEL Board of Directors authorized the re-purchase of 500,000 shares which is in addition to the previously announced buyback of up to five (5) percent of the company's outstanding shares. PCTEL will file a 10b5-1 plan during the current open trading window that will outline the parameters for this program. In total, the company is in the process of buying back 1,426,000 shares.

“The stock buyback is consistent with our balanced approach to capital allocation,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “While we have made investments, most recently in network analytics, that will expand our field of play in wireless products and services, we also recognize the value of investing in PCTEL at attractive levels and providing a greater opportunity for shareholder return,” added Singer.

Since 2002, PCTEL has repurchased $71 million of its stock and paid a one-time dividend of $10.3 million. Between 2011 and May 2015 the company will have paid $10.2 million in quarterly dividends.
