DALLAS – October 30, 2012 – Capstead Mortgage Corporation (NYSE: CMO) (“Capstead” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares. In connection with implementing this repurchase program, the Company has suspended its at-the-market, continuous offering program used to issue common shares.
Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made in the open market from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. The Board of Directors will assess the effects of this program periodically.
