Ryder System (R) Announces Two Targeted Buybacks

December 13, 2007 5:32 PM EST
Ryder System (NYSE: R) today announced the authorization of two 'targeted' stock buyback programs. the first will repurchase $300 million of Ryder's common stock and is being implemented to help move the Company's leverage position toward its previously stated leverage target range of 250% to 300%. Based on Ryder's current stock price, the new buyback will retire approximately 10.8% of the Company's outstanding shares.

The second buyback will total up to 2 million shares of common stock and is being implemented to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under the Company's various employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans.
