On February 4, 2015, IES’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time.  Share purchases will be made for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  The timing and amount of purchases under the program will be determined based upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.  All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods.  The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or reinstated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without notice.
