Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global leader in RFID-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $10 million of its common stock. The Company also announced its Board of Directors intends to propose changes to the Company’s corporate governance policies in advance of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

Stock Repurchase Program

"The stock repurchase program reflects the Board’s confidence in Identiv’s new growth strategy and our belief that our shares are currently undervalued relative to the long-term potential of our specialty IoT solutions business," said James Ousley, Chairman of the Board. “With our strong balance sheet, we are able to repurchase shares while maintaining sufficient cash resources to invest in our organic and inorganic growth initiatives."

Under the stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased through various means, including open market purchases, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The duration of the repurchase program is open-ended. The timing and amount of any repurchase of common stock will depend on a number of factors, including stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with Identiv’s working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

Repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be funded from the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents or future cash flow. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 23,873,249 shares of common stock outstanding and over $145 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet.

Proposed Corporate Governance Enhancements

In addition, to better align with Identiv’s new strategic direction and the interests of its stockholders, the Board plans to recommend several updates to the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures in advance of Identiv’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board intends to recommend the following changes:

  • Solicit stockholder approval to eliminate the Company’s classified Board structure
  • Consider the resignation of any director who does not receive a majority vote in uncontested elections

In addition, the Board has amended the Company’s stock incentive plan to eliminate the ability to reprice options.

In conjunction with these proposals, the Board is actively recruiting director candidates with deep, complementary expertise to help guide Identiv through its business transition.

"As the business transition progresses, the Board believes these corporate governance changes will best serve Identiv and our stockholders,” added Ousley. “We look forward to providing more details on these proposals ahead of the 2025 annual meeting.”
