ATLANTA, March 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCUR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CCUR) announced today that it received an extension for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market through May 15, 2018 to demonstrate to the Nasdaq that the Company is not a “public shell” and therefor its continued listing is warranted. During the extension, the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the NASDAQ. While the Company continues to evaluate options to maximize the value of its remaining assets, including identifying potential opportunities to invest in or acquire one or more operating businesses that could provide opportunities for appreciation in value, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to demonstrate to the Nasdaq within the 90-day period that it is not a “public shell.” Therefore, the Company’s common stock may be delisted at the end of the 90-day extension.
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that will enable the Company to repurchase up to one million shares of its common stock. Repurchases will be made at the discretion of management through open market or privately negotiated transactions or any combination of the same. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company’s management team. Open market purchases may be made pursuant to trading plans subject to the restrictions and protections of Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock repurchase program will be financed through use of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and will continue indefinitely until the authorized number of shares have been repurchased or the program is suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors. In its most recently filed Form 10-Q, the Company reported $57.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 and 9,880,038 in outstanding common shares as of February 9, 2018.
