Goodrich Announces Board Authorization to Repurchase up to $300 Million in Common Stock
CHARLOTTE, NC, Oct. 24, 2006 — The Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) approved a program today that authorizes the company to repurchase up to $300 million of the company’s common stock. While no time limit was set for completion of the program, the company expects repurchases to occur over a three year period. Repurchases under the program, which could aggregate to approximately 6% of the outstanding common stock, may be made through open market or privately negotiated transaction at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The program does not obligate the company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. Shares repurchased under the program are expected to be held as treasury shares. As of September 30, 2006, Goodrich had 124,761,757 shares outstanding.
In commenting on the Board’s actions, Marshall Larsen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are taking this action to enable the company to reduce dilution to existing shareholders from our stock-based compensation plans. We believe that this share repurchase plan, coupled with our continued focus on operational excellence and organic growth, represents an additional opportunity to enhance shareholder value.”
