Whether your company is just beginning to investigate the benefits of a share repurchase program or has already decided to initiate an open market repurchase, we can provide the critical guidance you need.

We begin by reviewing your stated goals for the repurchase. Then we examine historical and real-time trading data, institutional shareholder composition and available trading venues as they relate to your situation. Finally we effectively explain ways to address issues like these:

• How will the market interpret the buyback? What methodology should be used to announce it?
• Should you use a 10b 5-1 purchase program? If so, how should it be structured?
• What criteria should you use to select a broker (or brokers) to execute the plan?
• What is the best way to measure the plans success? How should you monitor it?

We help you understand how to structure the right execution strategy - one that maximizes every dollar deployed and stays within the required parameters of SEC Rule 10b-18.
