Mayville Engineering Company MEC (the "Company" or "MEC"), a leading U.S.-based value-added manufacturing partner that provides a broad range of prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, coating, assembly and aftermarket services, today announced that the Company's board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock.
The program will allow the Company to use the repurchased shares to meet its required 2019 safe harbor funding obligation under the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Company is required to fund a minimum of 3% of eligible compensation to qualifying participants by way of cash, stock purchases, or any combination thereof.
These share purchases may be made at the discretion of the Company, from time to time, in the open market and/or in private transactions and will depend on economic and market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. This specific share repurchase program runs until December 31, 2019 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
