On June 1, 2022, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a $500.0 million increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). This authorization is in addition to all previously approved amounts under the Repurchase Program. Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases of common stock may also be made under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases will be at the sole discretion of management, depending on market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
In addition, on June 1, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable July 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on June 30, 2022.
