Stock Repurchase [Abstract] |
Stock Repurchase | STOCK REPURCHASE: Since the October 30, 2017 inception of the current stock repurchase program, CNX's Board of Directors has approved in total a $750,000 stock repurchase program, which is not subject to an expiration date. The repurchases may be affected from time-to-time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated stock repurchases, block trades, derivative contracts or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18. The timing of any repurchases will be based on a number of factors, including available liquidity, the Company's stock price, the Company's financial outlook, and alternative investment options. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Board may modify, suspend, or discontinue its authorization of the program at any time. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the size of the stock repurchase program based on CNX's free cash flow position, leverage ratio, and capital plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 12,929,487 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $8.91 per share for a total cost of $115,477.
