DENVER, June 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EverCommerce Inc.

“We are constantly evaluating our capital allocation priorities to maximize shareholder value,” said Eric Remer, Chairman and CEO of EverCommerce. “We believe share repurchases are an accretive and attractive use of capital and our strong organic growth and margin profile provides the excess free cash flow to fund the program.

Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market.

The company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the company’s discretion. The company expects to fund repurchases with cash on hand.
