SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - May 8, 2014) - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and services to the global investment management industry, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock. This authorization is in addition to the approximately 0.4 million shares that remain available as of today for repurchase by Advent under the share repurchase program announced in October 2011.
Stock repurchases under this authorization may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, Advent's cash balances, general business and market conditions, the dilutive effects of share-based incentive plans, alternative investment opportunities and working capital needs. The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. Repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares of common stock.
As of May 7, 2014, Advent had approximately 51 million shares of common stock outstanding.
