NEW YORK-- (BUSINESS WIRE) ─ March 11, 2009 ─ Epoch Holding Corporation ("Epoch" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EPHC) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 250,000 shares, or just over 1%, of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding common stock. This authorization follows the recent completion of the previously announced 250,000 share repurchase program.

The repurchase plan calls for the repurchases to be made in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to prevailing market and business conditions.
