CBL Properties Approves A New $25M Stock Repurchase Program

CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program for the Company to buy up to $25 million of its common stock. The new stock repurchase program replaces the existing program authorized on May 1, 2025. Under the prior program, CBL had acquired 248,590 shares of CBL stock for $7.3 million.

"Replenishing the program allows us to allocate additional capital to capture an attractive investment opportunity when our stock is trading at a significant discount," said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer. "This action, as well as the special dividend paid in March and increase to our regular dividend in August, demonstrate our commitment to maximizing shareholder returns as well as our confidence in CBL's current and future value. Our strong cash balance and significant cash flow generation provide an ongoing source to support this program and other opportunities."

Repurchase Program

The Company plans to repurchase shares from time to time on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions and all in compliance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.

The size and timing of any purchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, general business and market conditions, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. Purchases may be made through the program by November 5, 2026.
