Ball Corporation (NYSE:BALL) announced today an agreement to repurchase approximately $250 million of its outstanding common stock in a privately negotiated, accelerated stock repurchase transaction with Crédit Agricole CIB, using cash on hand and available borrowings.
Subject to certain conditions, the transaction will commence today and will significantly reduce Ball's outstanding common stock. Final share counts will be determined based on the volume weighted average price over the agreement period and subject to customary market‑price adjustment terms at the conclusion of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction, which may require a settlement to be made by Ball, or to Ball, based generally on the volume weighted average trading price of the company's common stock over an agreed upon period of time.
