NEW IBERIA, LA – NYSE-MKT: TSH - Patrick Little, President and CEO of Teche Holding Company, the holding company for Teche Federal Bank, announced today that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to 3%, or approximately 60,000 shares, of the Company’s common stock.
In announcing the stock repurchase plan, Little commented, “the Company’s Board of Directors believes that adoption of a stock repurchase plan demonstrates our continuing commitment to increasing shareholder value and reflects our belief that the Company’s stock represents a good investment opportunity.”
The repurchases will be made in accordance with the plan and are expected to be made from time to time in open-market and privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability of the stock, market conditions, the trading price of the stock and the Company’s financial performance. Such repurchased shares may become treasury shares and utilized for general corporate and other purposes, including the issuances of shares pursuant to the Company’s stock benefit plans in order to mitigate the potentially dilutive effects of such plans. The repurchase program is expected to be completed in 12 to 18 months.
