Item 8.01
Other Event
On May 15, 2014, Harmonic announced that its board of directors has approved an $80 million increase to the Company’s ongoing share repurchase program. A copy of the press release announcing the increase to the share repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Repurchases may be made from time to time subject to pre-determined price/volume guidelines established by the board of directors. As part of the share repurchase program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases.
