ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY” or the “Company”), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the commencement of a share repurchase program. The share repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s Class A common stock.

“This buyback authorization reinforces the board’s and management’s confidence in the strength of our business,” said Tim Murphy, CFO of REPAY. “We believe the current valuation of our shares does not align with the value of the Company. This program is a responsible way to deploy capital consistent with our disciplined approach. We are committed to creating value for our shareholders by continuing to prioritize capital allocation initiatives that support our growth strategies and maintain flexibility to pursue organic and inorganic growth opportunities. We believe that this repurchase program will not inhibit those growth strategies based on the anticipated free cash flow for the years ahead.”

Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases are expected to be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. 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 its Class A common stock and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
