Uber Announces $1.5 Billion Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
06 Janeiro 2025 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced that it has
entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with
Bank of America, N.A. (the “dealer”) to repurchase $1.5 billion of
shares of Uber common stock, as part of its previously announced
$7.0 billion share repurchase authorization.
“We are entering 2025 with considerable momentum and expect to
continue scaling our free cash flows significantly, enabling us to
return meaningful capital to shareholders while still investing in
growth,” said Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah. “Our stock is undervalued
relative to the strength of our business, and we plan to accelerate
our buybacks under the existing authorization as a result. This ASR
represents a value-enhancing deployment of capital, retiring over
one percent of our market cap.”
Under the ASR agreement, on January 6, 2025, Uber will pay $1.5
billion to the dealer and expects to receive an initial delivery of
18,578,727 shares of Uber common stock, representing approximately
80% of the shares of Uber common stock it expects to repurchase
under the ASR agreement. The total number of shares to be
repurchased by Uber pursuant to the ASR agreement will be based on
the volume-weighted average price of Uber common stock on specified
dates during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount, and
subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the ASR agreement.
The transactions under the ASR agreement are expected to be
completed during the first quarter of 2025.
