Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 13, 2015, Trimble Navigation Limited announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $400 million of its common stock, and that Trimble intends to spend at least $150 million of this authorization within the next six months. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and replaces the prior authorization of $300 million, which had $177 million remaining as of the end of the second quarter of 2015. Under the share repurchase program, Trimble may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, tender offers, or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, Trimble’s share price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. In the first half of 2015, Trimble repurchased approximately 2.95 million shares of its common stock for a total of approximately $73 million.
The press release announcing the share repurchase program is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.
