The board of KVH Industries has authorized a $10 million share-repurchase program.
The Middletown, R.I., maritime- and mobile-connectivity company said Wednesday that the buybacks are authorized through the open market, privately negotiated transactions and block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement.
The company additionally said it entered into purchase and sale agreements for its office and factory, both located in Middletown.
KVH will sell its offices to Knight Capital for $8.5 million, remaining in the property as a tenant under a triple-net lease as it completes its manufacturing wind-down and identifies a new headquarters facility. It will also sell a nearby factory to 50 Enterprise, a subsidiary of Seacorp, for $4.5 million.
Chief Executive Brent Bruun said proceeds from the sale of these facilities will be used for working capital and potential strategic opportunities, while also allowing the company to move into new facilities.
