Total Authorization of $2.5 billion
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 30, 2018–
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG), New York City’s largest office
landlord, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has
authorized an increase to the size of its share repurchase program by an
additional $500 million of the Company’s common stock, bringing the
program to a total of $2.5 billion.
To date, the Company has repurchased 18,087,322 shares under the
program. In addition, the Company has redeemed 445,517 units of the
Company’s Operating Partnership in connection with real estate
transactions.
“The expansion of our stock repurchase program is in response to the
significant discrepancy that persists between our share price and the
underlying value of our assets,” said Marc Holliday, Chief Executive
Officer of SL Green. “We are pleased with the results of this
program to date, as we’ve been able to monetize assets that were ripe
for harvesting and reinvest those proceeds in a way that is accretive to
earnings and net asset value, as well as being sensitive to our
investment grade balance sheet. We believe this is a program that
creates tremendous value for our investors.”
