Liberty also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the implementation of an additional share repurchase plan to repurchase shares of Liberty’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in an amount not to exceed $100 million through January 31, 2021. This program is in addition to the $100 million share repurchase program previously announced by Liberty on September 10, 2018, which has been substantially completed.

The share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Company expects to fund repurchases made under this plan from its existing cash on hand and future operating cash flow. The share repurchase program was authorized on January 22, 2019 and will remain in place until January 31, 2021 but may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.

The share repurchase program was approved by Liberty’s Board of Directors who believe that a share repurchase program at this time is in the best interest of Liberty and its shareholders.
