Republic Services, Inc. Authorizes an Additional $2 Billion For Share Repurchases

PHOENIX, Nov. 2, 2017

"Our share repurchase program demonstrates the confidence we have in our ability to grow free cash flow and our long-term commitment to returning cash to our shareholders while maintaining our investment grade credit rating," said Donald W. Slager, president and chief executive officer. "Over the last seven years we have consistently and efficiently returned $5.4 billion to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and reduced our share count by approximately 18 percent."

The share repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or a combination of both. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will be at the discretion of management and will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions.
