FVCBankcorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:FVCB) (the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors has extended its share repurchase program that was initiated in 2020. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 1,300,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 7% of its outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2023. The repurchase program will expire on March 31, 2025, subject to earlier termination of the program by the Board of Directors.
During 2023, the Company repurchased 115,750 shares of its common stock during open trading window periods.
Repurchases may be made in open market purchases, block trades or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases, if any, under the program will be made at the discretion of management, and will depend upon market pricing and conditions, business, legal, accounting and other considerations. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitation of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Repurchases may be made pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. Under applicable law, repurchased shares will be cancelled and revert to the status of authorized but unissued shares.
The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice, in the Company's discretion, based upon a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, the need for capital in the Company's operations and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares.
