AmSouth announces plan to repurchase 25 million shares
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 19, 2001 -- AmSouth Bank announced today that its
Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 25 million shares of
the company's outstanding common stock.
C. Dowd Ritter, AmSouth's chairman, president and chief executive officer,
said, "AmSouth's strong capital position allows us to take this action, which
clearly reflects our confidence in the future of our company, our financial
system and the American economy as a whole."
This authorization, which expires in September 2003, represents nearly 7
percent of the company's outstanding shares. The common shares may be
repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The
reacquired common shares will be held as treasury shares and may be reissued for
various corporate purposes, including employee benefit programs. As of June 30,
2001, there were 368 million shares outstanding.
The company has been repurchasing shares based on a 35 million share
authorization announced in April 2000. There are currently fewer than 500,000
shares remaining under that authorization.
