AXTAXTI, a leading manufacturer of compound semiconductor substrates, today announced a program authorizing the repurchase of up to $6 million of the Company's common stock through February 27, 2014. Any repurchases under this program will be made through open market purchases, block trades, unsolicited negotiated transactions, or any manner that complies with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased under this program will be dependent on market conditions and other corporate considerations, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and alternative investment opportunities.
