SportsLine stock repurchasing plan

Tagged in

US internet giant SportsLine.com has confirmed it is to instigate a $2m stock repurchasing programme.

The board of directors of SportsLine authorised the firm to buy-up up to $2m of outstanding common stock.

Shares may be purchased from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions.

Nasdaq-listed SportsLine.com shares have lost two-thirds of their value in the last two months and the buy-up could be aimed at shoring up investor confidence.
