Wind River Announces Stock Repurchase Program ALAMEDA, Calif., Jun 28, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:WIND) today announced that its board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to buy back up to $30 million of the corporation's common stock over the next two years. Repurchases will take place on the open market from time-to-time based on market conditions. "This repurchase plan is intended primarily to manage future dilution from employee incentive plans including options and ESPP as well as potential dilution relating to our convertible bond," stated Mike Zellner, CFO. "With current market conditions, we have an opportunity to buy back our shares at levels we believe don't fully reflect our long-term opportunities. In addition to the fact that much of this plan will be funded by employee option exercises and ESPP contributions, our current strong cash position allows us to implement this repurchase plan without adversely impacting our internal investment programs."
