ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

 

On August 20, 2014, Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”) announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Corporation to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program will cover the repurchase of shares during the period from August 20, 2014 to September 30, 2017.  Repurchases will be made in compliance with all Securities and Exchange Commission rules, including Rule 10b-18, and other legal requirements and may be made in part under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which permits stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so.

 

In connection with its approval of the Share Repurchase Program, the Board of Directors terminated the Corporation’s $700 million stock repurchase program that was adopted in March 2013.  As of August 15, 2014, the Corporation had approximately $124 million of remaining availability under the prior stock repurchase program.

 

The press release announcing the Share Repurchase Program is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
