Rambus Announces Accelerated Share Repurchase
LOS ALTOS, Calif., Aug 19, 2010 -- Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), one of the world's premier technology licensing companies, today announced that it has initiated a share repurchase program to repurchase approximately $90 million of its common stock pursuant to a Share Repurchase Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch ("JP Morgan"), as part of the Company's share repurchase program.
"This share repurchase demonstrates our confidence in Rambus' long-term prospects and illustrates our continuing commitment to increasing shareholder value," said Satish Rishi, senior vice president and chief financial officer at Rambus.
Under the Share Repurchase Agreement, Rambus will pre-pay to JP Morgan the $90 million purchase price for common stock and JP Morgan will deliver to Rambus a number of shares of its common stock. The number of shares delivered to Rambus will be determined based on the volume weighted average price of the common stock, calculated over a period of between one and four months following the date of the Share Repurchase Agreement, minus an agreed upon discount between the parties. The shares of common stock will be delivered by JP Morgan to Rambus on the third business day following the calculation period described above.
The Share Repurchase Agreement is part of the share repurchase program previously authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. As of August 19, 2010, before giving effect to the transaction under the Share Repurchase Agreement, there remained an outstanding authorization under the share repurchase program to repurchase approximately 10 million shares of the outstanding common stock.
