SINTX Technologies Announces Stock Repurchase Program

 

Salt Lake City, UT – November 18, 2024 – SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an advanced ceramics company that develops and commercializes materials, components, and technologies for medical and technical applications, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to buy back up to $500,000 of the company’s outstanding common stock over the next several quarters which equates to about 20% of total outstanding shares. The repurchases will be conducted based on market conditions and other factors, reflecting SINTX’s confidence in its strategic direction and commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

 

Strategic Rationale

 

This initiative aligns with SINTX’s strategic focus on optimizing its capital structure and delivering long-term value to shareholders. By repurchasing shares, the company aims to reduce the number of outstanding shares, thereby increasing the ownership stake of remaining shareholders and enhancing earnings per share. Similar to actions taken by other industry leaders, SINTX believes that a stock repurchase program is an effective way to return capital to shareholders.

 

Management Commentary

 

“We believe that the current market undervalues SINTX’s potential,” said Eric Olson, CEO of SINTX Technologies. “This repurchase program underscores our confidence in the company’s strategic initiatives and our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders. By leveraging our strong balance sheet, we are taking a proactive approach to capital allocation, similar to other companies in our industry that have successfully implemented share repurchase programs.”

 

Program Details

 

The stock repurchase program will be managed by Maxim Group, LLC, a recognized leader in investment banking and asset management. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program will be determined by SINTX’s management at its discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of the Company’s common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and general market conditions. Share repurchases under the program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any combination of such methods.
