Herbalife has approved a three-year share buyback program of $250 million that includes open-market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions and accelerated share repurchase agreements. The board of directors views the move as an expression of confidence in the business strategy, the financial outlook and the company’s ability to generate sustainable free cash flow. The program is flexible, does not obligate the purchase of any specific number of shares, and can be adjusted or suspended depending on market conditions, price and liquidity. » Altro su de.investing.com
