FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 4, 2018-- MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the national medical group specializing in neonatology, anesthesiology, radiology, maternal-fetal medicine, other pediatric services, and management services, today announced the commencement of a $250 million accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program with Bank of America, N.A.

Under the terms of the ASR, MEDNAX will repurchase $250 million of its common stock, with an aggregate initial delivery of approximately 4.2 million shares. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR, minus a discount. The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR agreement is expected to occur in up to six months. The Company is funding the ASR with borrowings under its credit facility.

The ASR program is being executed as part of an authorization by MEDNAX’s Board of Directors to repurchase up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock, announced on August 2, 2018.

The $500 million authorization is incremental to the Company’s existing authorization to repurchase its common stock up to an amount sufficient to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares under MEDNAX’s equity programs. MEDNAX will continue to contemplate various methods to effect future share repurchases, including, among others, open-market purchases and additional accelerated share repurchase programs.
