APi Group Announces $250 Million Stock Repurchase Program


APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) ("APG", "APi" or the "Company"), today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to an aggregate of $250 million of shares of the Company's common stock. Acquisitions pursuant to the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and/or other derivative transactions, at the Company's discretion, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements.

Russ Becker, APi's President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "One of APi's historical strengths is its strong free cash flow, which creates opportunities to drive organic and acquisition growth, as well as flexibility to make the best capital allocation decisions whether debt repayment, acquisitions or otherwise. This authorization reflects the Board's confidence in the Company's strong balance sheet, organic revenue growth and margin expansion opportunities, the strength of its protective moat driven by recurring service revenue and its resiliency despite a challenging macro environment. We remain focused on making the right choices for the long-term health of the business, being opportunistic on M&A and remaining focused on creating sustainable shareholder value."

In connection with the stock repurchase program, the Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans which would generally permit the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under the securities laws. The program will expire on February 29, 2024 unless otherwise modified or earlier terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time in its sole discretion.
