Luxfer Announces Stock Repurchase Program

4 June 2015

SALFORD, England—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Luxfer Group (NYSE:LXFR), a global materials technology company, today announced approval by its Board of Directors of a program to repurchase up to $10 million of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

The Board of Directors has resolved, effective June 4, 2015, to commence repurchasing ADSs from time-to-time over the next twelve months. As previously announced, Luxfer currently expects to make such repurchases primarily in order to satisfy obligations under Luxfer’s employee share programs, subject to applicable securities laws, regulatory considerations and other factors. Given the strong financial position of the Company and the Board’s confidence in the long-term prospects for the Company, the Board considers it an appropriate time to commence this repurchase program. Luxfer is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of ADSs, and such repurchases, if any, may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, corporate, applicable securities laws, regulatory requirements or any other factor. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases, if any. Shareholder approval for such repurchases (up to an aggregate of 2,700,000 ordinary shares or 2,700,000 ADSs) was received at Luxfer’s 2014 annual general meeting held on May 29, 2014, and remains valid for five years from that date.
