Mastech (MHH) Commences 608K Modified 'Dutch Auction' Tender Offer

February 7, 2012 7:49 AM EST
Mastech Holdings, Inc. (AMEX: MHH), is commencing a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer to repurchase up to 608,000 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 17% of Mastech's outstanding shares. The 608,000 shares represent the remaining shares available for purchase under Mastech's stock repurchase program, which was previously announced on December 23, 2010. The closing price of Mastech's common stock on the NYSE Amex on February 6, 2012 was $4.57.

Under the tender offer, shareholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within the range of $4.65 to $5.50 per share. The low end of this range is greater than the closing price of Mastech's common stock on the NYSE Amex on February 6, 2012. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering shareholders, Mastech will determine the lowest per share price within the range that will enable it to buy 608,000 shares, or such lesser number of shares that are properly tendered.

If more than 608,000 shares are properly tendered at or below the determined price per share, Mastech will first purchase shares tendered by those shareholders owning fewer than 100 shares without pro ration, and then purchase all other shares on a pro rata basis, at the determined price per share. The number of shares subject to this tender offer may, at the discretion of Mastech, be increased by up to 2% of Mastech's outstanding shares, or approximately 71,382 shares, without amending or extending the tender offer.
