Accretive to Earnings
NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2012--
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT) today announced that it has
completed its previously announced purchase of approximately 3.85
million shares of FleetCor common stock at $51.91 per share pursuant to
a share repurchase agreement with certain of its private equity
shareholders associated with Summit Partners and Bain Capital.
“On a pro forma basis, using actual results through September 30, 2012
and our prior guidance, the repurchase is expected to be accretive to
full-year 2012 earnings by approximately $0.13 per diluted share,” said
Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FleetCor Technologies,
Inc. “We believe that buying back shares from our legacy investors will
help to reduce the share overhang and leaves us sufficient liquidity to
execute our acquisition plans.”
The share repurchase was effected in a private transaction and FleetCor
funded the $200 million aggregate purchase price with borrowings under
its credit facilities.
