Bootie Beer Corporation to Buyback Shares on the Open Market
The Company expects to fund its share repurchase program principally from proceeds from the recent convertible debt transaction with NIR, and the remaining proceeds will be applied towards unsecured debt and executing the Company's business model.
17/11/06 Bootie Beer Corporation, brewer of Bootie Beer and Bootie Light, tagged as "America's Entertainment Beer," announced that the Board of Directors has adopted a stock repurchase program of their own shares of common stock. The Company will repurchase securities on the Over-the- Counter Bulletin Board open market, pursuant to, and in compliance with, Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company reserves quantity and purchase discretion, but will not exceed purchasing a maximum of 2,000,000 shares. The Company reserves price discretion, but the purchase price will not exceed the higher of the current independent bid quotation or the last independent sale price. The Company reserves time discretion, but will not purchase securities during the half-hour prior to the scheduled close of trading. The Company may purchase the securities at the market, or in a block trade. The Company reserves volume discretion, but will conduct those trades in compliance with the volume restrictions for either at the market or block trade transactions. The Company reserves broker or dealer discretion, but will purchase the securities through only one broker or dealer on a single day, but may change the broker or dealer from day to day. The Company expects to fund its share repurchase program principally from proceeds from the recent convertible debt transaction with NIR, and the remaining proceeds will be applied towards unsecured debt and executing the Company's business model.
Tania M. Torruella, CEO of Bootie Beer, said, "This stock repurchase program demonstrates our confidence in the long-term outlook of the Company. We believe our shares are mispriced by the market and the best investment we can make with the NIR proceeds is in our own stock. The repurchase program is strategically beneficial for our shareholders, and shareholders equity."
