Astronics Corporation ATRO, a leading supplier of advanced technologies and products to the global aerospace and defense industries, today announced that it has adopted a 10b5-1 plan to facilitate the purchase of shares during periods when it may otherwise be prevented from acting due to securities laws and self-imposed blackout periods. Any such purchases would be made under the company's previously announced share repurchase authorization. Effective June 4, 2019, repurchases made under the plan are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations, as well as certain price, market, volume, and timing considerations specified in the plan. Since repurchases under the plan are subject to such constraints, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased under the plan. The plan has been established pursuant to the authorization by the Company's Board of Directors for the Company to repurchase up to $50 million in common stock, which had been announced on December 18, 2017.
