HENDERSON, Nev. and NOWSHERA, Pakistan, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gamer Pakistan Inc. (NASDAQ: GPAK) (“GP”), an early-stage technology and esports company focused on game development and in-game AI community engagement, and organizing esports events in Pakistan, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program, with authorization to purchase from time to time at the direction of the Board, up to $1.0 million of its common stock.
“We are committed to driving long-term value for our stockholders and in strategically deploying GP’s resources and capital,” said Gamer Pakistan CEO James Knopf. “We are confident in our market opportunity and given the strength of our balance sheet the share repurchase program is an investment in our long-term growth. The Board believes that GP’s potential as the preeminent technology and esports entity in Pakistan is not reflected in the current market valuation which, when combined with the existing macroeconomic environment, presents an attractive buying opportunity for our stock.”
The Share Buyback shall be for the purpose of repurchasing up to $1.0 million of the Company's common stock traded on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GPAK”, pursuant to SEC Rule l0b-18.
GP may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share buyback program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023 the company had 23,879,319 weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
