Roblox Announces Inaugural Share Repurchase Program
Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of the company's common stock with the intent to buy back up to $1 billion over the next twelve months. The program is designed to partially offset dilution from employee equity grants while preserving flexibility to invest in future growth opportunities.
"Today's authorization of Roblox's first-ever share repurchase program is a testament to our confidence in the long-term opportunity ahead," said Naveen Chopra, Chief Financial Officer of Roblox. "Investing in continued growth will always be our highest priority, but the strength of our balance sheet and free cash flow generation allows us to support industry leading innovation while simultaneously reducing dilution."
With this program, Roblox may repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate Roblox to acquire any amount of Class A Common Stock. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by Roblox at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations.
