Chromocell Announces Amendment to Stock Repurchase Plan
October 24 2024 - 8:45AM
Chromocell Therapeutics Corporation (“Chromocell”, or the
“Company”), (NYSE American: CHRO), a pioneer in the development of
non-opioid pain treatment therapeutics, today announced that its
board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized an
amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s existing stock
repurchase plan (as amended, the “Repurchase Plan”) to increase the
total value of shares of Chromocell’s common stock (“Common Stock”)
available for repurchase by the Company under the Repurchase Plan
by an additional $500,000, to $750,000.
In addition, the Amendment extends the
termination date of the Repurchase Plan from December 31, 2024 to
June 30, 2025.
The Repurchase Plan does not obligate the
Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock, and it
may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board of Directors
at any time.
“The increased ability to repurchase up to
another $500,000 in shares of Chromocell’s common stock – in
addition to the $250,000 previously available for repurchase under
the repurchase plan – is the result of our continued belief that
our common stock is undervalued, and we consider our common stock
an attractive investment at the current price,” said Frank
Knuettel, Chief Executive Officer and President.
Under the Repurchase Plan, the Company may
repurchase shares of Common Stock from time to time in open market
transactions or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted
under the applicable rules and regulations. Open market purchases
are intended to be conducted in accordance with the limitations set
forth in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable legal
requirements. The timing, volume and nature of such purchases will
be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s management at
prices the Company considers attractive and in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of
stock, general market conditions, trading price, alternate uses for
capital, the Company’s financial performance, and applicable
securities laws. No assurance can be given that any particular
amount of Common Stock will be repurchased. All or some portion of
the repurchases will be made pursuant to trading plans under Rule
10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which will permit shares to be
repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from
doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other
regulatory restrictions.
