NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ExlService Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXLS), a leading global analytics and digital solutions company, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $300 million common stock repurchase program, effective as of January 1, 2023. The current buyback program previously announced on December 13, 2019, for the repurchase of up to $200 million of common stock, will be terminated as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $162 million has been repurchased under that plan.
The shares may be purchased by the Company on the open market and through private transactions as determined by the Company’s management as market conditions warrant. The Company expects that open market repurchases under the repurchase program will be structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted.

You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although EXL believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect EXL’s actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors, which include the market price of our common stock, our ability to successfully close and integrate strategic acquisitions, our ability to respond to and manage public health crises, including the outbreak and continued effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, are discussed in more detail in EXL’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including EXL’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.
