Primoris Services Corporation Announces Repurchase of Common Stock

/EIN News/ -- DALLAS, Dec. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Primoris Services Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: PRIM) (“Primoris” or “Company”) today announced that the Company has purchased 2,316,960 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of $50 million from Brian Pratt, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The transaction completes the share repurchase program announced by the Company on November 4, 2019, and was funded with cash on hand.

Mr. Pratt recently announced his intention to step down from the Board of the Company at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting in February 2020.  

Primoris’ CEO Tom McCormick commented, “We are pleased with this transaction for the company and our shareholders. It allows the company to complete its’ approved share repurchase at a discount to market.  Our continued solid operating performance and strong cash flow allows us to fund this transaction with cash on hand.”
