The purchases are to be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, when conditions warrant.

The shares will be repurchased and retired using the Company’s strong internally generated cash flow. Mr. Hendrickson reiterated that the share buyback program does not alter CPAC's strategy of growth via acquisitions, or prevent the Company from investing in other attractive growth opportunities.
