Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (NYSE:KGS) ("Kodiak" or the "Company") today announced the closing of a sale of 3.22 million shares of its common stock by an affiliate of the funds known as EQT Infrastructure III and EQT Infrastructure IV (the "selling stockholder") pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Rule 144 Sale"). Kodiak did not receive any proceeds from the Rule 144 Sale by the selling stockholder. J.P. Morgan acted as the broker for the Rule 144 Sale.
Concurrently with the Rule 144 Sale, the Company purchased from the selling stockholder in a private transaction $10 million of its common stock at a price per share equal to the price per share received by the selling stockholder in the Rule 144 Sale (the "Share Repurchase"). The Share Repurchase was conducted pursuant to the Company's existing $50.0 million share repurchase program. In November 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, beginning on November 13, 2024 and continuing through and including December 31, 2025. Following the Share Repurchase described above, approximately $15.0 million remains available for repurchase under the Company's share repurchase program.
