Marvel Expands, Extends Buyback Plan

Marvel Expands Stock Buyback Plan by $150 Million, Extends Program to June 2006

NEW YORK (AP) -- Comic book publisher Marvel Enterprises Inc. said Wednesday that its board expanded the company's stock repurchase program by $150 million and extended the buyback plan to June 30, 2006.
As of May 10, Marvel had about $13 million remaining under its initial $100 million stock repurchase authorization. The company now has a total of $163 million approved for stock buybacks.

Marvel currently has cash and short-term investments in excess of $200 million.

Isaac Perlmutter, the company's CEO, vice chairman and largest stockholder, has agreed to continue not to sell any of his Marvel shares while the expanded repurchase program is in effect. Perlmutter had previously agreed, when the initial $100 million stock repurchase program was authorized in July 2004, not to sell any of his Marvel shares until that plan was completed.
