Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to $300 million of the company’s common stock through the end of fiscal 2020.

“Our share repurchase program reflects the strength of our balance sheet, the stability of our business today and the confidence we have in our future. It also demonstrates our intent to incorporate the return of capital to shareholders in our strategic and operating plans as the business continues to grow and generate cash,” said Ciena’s Chief Financial Officer James E. Moylan, Jr.

Ciena may purchase shares at management’s discretion in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors including liquidity, cash flow, stock price, and general business and market conditions. The program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

The share repurchase program will be funded with cash on hand or cash generated from operations.
