Brooklyn, N.Y., August 23, 2023 -- Cemtrex (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up 2,300,000 shares of its outstanding Series 1 Preferred Stock from time-to-time commencing September 1, 2023 and ending on August 31, 2026, subject to market conditions.
"Cemtrex’s Board of Directors and management team believe that the market currently undervalues our business," commented Saagar Govil, CEO of Cemtrex. "The share repurchase program provides us with flexibility to repurchase the preferred stock over time if market conditions persist."
Under the share repurchase program, the Company may periodically repurchase its preferred stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or any combination thereof in compliance with applicable securities laws and the Company’s insider trading policy. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with Cemtrex’s working capital requirements and general business conditions.
