PPG Board authorizes $2.5 billion share repurchase program

This program is in addition to the company’s existing share repurchase authorization

  • By ICN Bureau | April 21, 2024

PPG announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of US$ 2.5 billion of outstanding common stock. The authorization is effective immediately, does not expire, and gives management discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased.

This program is in addition to the company’s existing share repurchase authorization, which was approved in December 2017 and had approximately $860 million remaining as of March 31, 2024.

Repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Repurchases may commence or cease without prior notice depending on economic and equity market conditions, magnitude of other cash uses, including pace and timing of acquisitions, and other factors.
