LEXINGTON, Ky., June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur Sealy
International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX) today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the authorization under the Company's
share repurchase program by an additional $200 million.
Since the program was announced on February 4, 2016 through June 8,
2016, the Company has repurchased approximately 3.4 million shares for a total cost of approximately $195 million. After this increased authorization, the Company has approximately $205
million remaining available for future share repurchases.
Tempur Sealy International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "The Company
generates strong free cash flow and this new authorization is consistent with our previously disclosed long-term strategy to
manage our capital structure and, when appropriate, return excess cash to our shareholders."
Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, 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, financing and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. The program does not
require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior
notice. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might
otherwise be precluded from doing so under federal securities laws.
