FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Federal Signal Corporation Announces Additional $75 Million
Share Repurchase Authorization
Oak Brook, IL, November 4, 2014 — Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS) (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional share repurchase program of up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock. The repurchase program supplements the Board’s prior authorization in April 2014 to repurchase up to $15 million of the Company’s common stock. The newly-authorized program is intended primarily to facilitate purchases of Company stock as a means to provide cash returns to shareholders, enhance shareholder returns and manage the Company’s capital structure.
“Our objective with our share repurchase plans, and with all of our activities, is to optimize value for our shareholders,” said Dennis J. Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have returned to profitability and continue to generate strong cash flow. Our Board believes that there may be opportunities for share repurchases without impacting our ability to invest in future growth, including a highly disciplined and focused acquisition effort.”
Under the November 2014 share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Share repurchases by the Company are subject to market conditions and other factors and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time. At November 4, 2014, the aggregate availability under the Company’s share repurchase programs was $83.3 million.
