lol. Here you go. The Smarter Sponge™, (OTCBB: SPNG), today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase in its stock repurchase program from 100 million to a maximum of 150 million common shares. As reported in the Company's 3rd Quarter 2009 filing for the period ended February 28, 2009, the Company repurchased 55,824,336 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $0.0308 under its original repurchase program of up to 100 million shares of stock. The repurchase program authorizes management and its affiliates, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors.
Repurchased stock would be returned to SpongeTech®’s Treasury; reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Company stock, thereby decreasing the Company’s overall market cap and reducing the trading float. Management and the Board of Directors feel strongly about the Company and its growth prospects, and believe that an increase in the Company’s repurchase program is justified and prudent in its development as well as enhancing shareholder value.
SpongeTech®’s CEO, Michael Metter stated, “Based on our sell-through rates across our product lines and the success of out marketing campaign, we are anticipating strong growth within the Company this fiscal year. Even at current market price, we feel the stock is very much undervalued and we are committed to support and maintain the fundamental value of our Company’s stock.”
“Today’s action demonstrates the Management and Board of Directors strong confidence in the long term strength of the Company’s cash flow generation as we intend to continue reducing our share structure. We remain focused and committed to building SpongeTech® into a globally recognized Company, therefore enhancing shareholder value,” added SpongeTech®’s COO, Steven Moskowitz.
