Beacon (the “Company”) announced today that it has entered an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with Citibank N.A to repurchase $125 million of Beacon’s common stock. The ASR accelerates Beacon’s progress under its $500 million share repurchase program announced February 24, 2022.

“Accelerating our share repurchase program affirms our commitment to delivering value to stockholders through disciplined capital allocation,” said Julian Francis, President & CEO of Beacon. “This ASR demonstrates our significant confidence in the Ambition 2025 strategic plan outlined during our recent Investor Day.”

Under the ASR, Beacon will make a pre-payment of $125 million to Citibank, N.A and will initially receive a prorated quantity of the Company’s common stock on March 15, 2022. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of Beacon’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR. The final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.
