The Board of Directors of AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE: ATR) authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock. This new authorization replaces all previous authorizations. Aptar may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions.

Stephan Tanda, President and CEO, commented, “Aptar maintains a balanced approach to capital allocation, focused on returning capital to shareholders, as well as reinvesting in the business through capacity expansions and bolt-on acquisitions, aiming to position the company for continued growth. Over the last five years, we have returned more than $780 million to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

The timing and amounts of any share repurchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including but not limited to share price, regulatory requirements and capital availability.
