Announces $100 Million Share Repurchase Program
MAUMEE, Ohio, August 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andersons, Inc.

The company’s board of directors has also authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of outstanding company common stock.

“Remaining disciplined in our capital allocation strategy has enabled us to retain flexibility with our balance sheet as we seek to continue growing our core business.

Shares will be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions. When, and if, shares are purchased will depend on stock price, market conditions, and other factors.
