BEAVERTON, OR — (Marketwire) — 11/09/12 — Cascade Microtech, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCD), the leader in on-wafer measurements, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, up to $2,000,000 of the Company-s common stock may be purchased from time-to-time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
The timing and actual number of shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and alternative business and investment opportunities. Repurchases under the program will be funded from available cash. The program does not require the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be commenced, suspended or terminated at any time or from time-to-time at the Company-s discretion without prior notice.
“We believe our stock is currently undervalued,” said Michael Burger, President and CEO. “As a result, we see this repurchase program as a prudent use of capital. We believe that this program underscores our commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.”
