Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

On August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors of Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”), authorized a stock repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2012 Repurchase Program”).

 

The 2012 Repurchase Program is in addition to the stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in 2008 (the “2008 Repurchase Program”). As of July 31, 2012, we had approximately $2.6 million of remaining authorized funds to repurchase additional shares under the 2008 Repurchase Program.

 

The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to a Rule 10b-18 plan. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate or suspend the repurchase program at any time.
