ITEM 8.01 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On May 18, 2018, the board of directors of AMCON Distributing Company ("Company") authorized the repurchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock in any combination of open market or privately negotiated transactions. This share repurchase authorization replaces the authorization previously provided by the board of directors for the repurchase of shares, which was terminated.
Under this share repurchase authorization, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. It is anticipated that any repurchases under this authorization would be funded from cash on hand and available borrowings under the Company's existing revolving credit facility. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and this share repurchase authorization may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.
The information in this report shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information set forth in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
