| Source: MIND CTI Ltd.
YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - September 8, 2008) - MIND CTI Ltd. (NASDAQ : MNDO ), a leading
provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based
solutions for service providers as well as telecom expense management (call
accounting) solutions for the enterprise market, today announced that its
Board of Directors authorized a plan for the repurchase of up to 2.1
million of the Company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount
in cash of up to $2.8 million.
Monica Eisinger, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We believe that in light
of current share prices, the history of positive cash flow from operations
and the Company's resources, the purchase of the Company's shares is a good
investment and is in the best interests of the Company and we can do this
without sacrificing expansion, capital investment or growth plans. We
believe that at this time the repurchase of our stock at these prices will
deliver value to our shareholders and is one of the most appropriate uses
of our resources."
Under the repurchase program, share purchases may be made from time to time
depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other
factors. The repurchase may be suspended from time to time or discontinued.
MIND reported cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million as of June 30,
2008.
Under the Israeli law, the repurchase program is considered a distribution
that requires prior court approval, which the Company will seek as soon as
possible. The Company expects to obtain such court approval within eight to
twelve weeks, although there is no guarantee that such approval will not be
delayed or denied.
