November 10 2017 - 11:31AM
P.A.M. Transportation Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTSI) (the “Company”
or “PTSI”) today announced the final results of its modified “Dutch
auction” tender offer to repurchase up to 400,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock, which expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time,
on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of
the tender offer, the Company has accepted for purchase a total of
143,859 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 2.3%
of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, at a purchase price
of $30.00 per share. Payment for the shares accepted for purchase
under the tender offer will be made promptly, at a total cost to
the Company of $4,315,770, excluding fees and expenses related to
the offer.
Based on the final count by Computershare Trust
Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), the depositary for the tender
offer, an aggregate of 143,859 shares were properly tendered and
not properly withdrawn at the final purchase price of $30.00 per
share. A total of 215 shares tendered through the guaranteed
delivery process were not delivered within the applicable two
trading day settlement period and thus were not properly tendered.
The Company will promptly pay for the shares accepted for purchase
and return to tendering shareholders any shares tendered and not
purchased.
The Company expects to have approximately
6,159,176 shares of its common stock outstanding immediately
following consummation of the tender offer.
The Company may purchase additional shares in
the future in the open market subject to market conditions and
through private transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Under
applicable securities laws, however, the Company may not repurchase
any shares until November 23, 2017. Whether the Company makes
additional repurchases in the future will depend on many factors,
including the number of shares purchased in this tender offer, its
business and financial performance and situation, the business and
market conditions at the time, including the price of the shares,
and other factors the Company considers relevant.
The Company has retained Georgeson LLC as the
information agent for the tender offer. All questions regarding the
tender offer should be directed to the information agent at (800)
