NEW YORK, May 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Better Choice Company Inc. (NYSE: BTTR) (the “Company” or “Better Choice”), a pet health and wellness company, today announced that certain members of its Board of Directors and Management team (the “Insiders”) have purchased 554,800 common shares as part of the insider purchase program previously announced on May 13, 2022. This purchase, led by Executive Vice President of Sales Donald Young, represents approximately 2% of Better Choice’s basic common shares outstanding.
Michael Young, Chairman of the Board of Better Choice Company, stated, “After a record first quarter, our management team and board continue to align with shareholders by placing significant personal capital into the business. We continue to believe in what we are building and are here for the long term.”
In addition to the insider purchase program, the Board of Directors also announced the authorization of a stock repurchase program on May 12, 2022. Under the terms of this program, the Company can repurchase up to $3.0 million of the currently outstanding shares until December 31, 2022, using cash on hand. This program allows the Company to opportunistically take advantage of any adverse market volatility, as the Company is not obligated to repurchase any particular number of shares or any shares in any specific time period.
