AUSTIN, Texas – March 27, 2008 – Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The repurchases will be at times and in amounts as the company deems appropriate and will be made through open market transactions in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program runs through the end of 2009. In addition to the applicable securities laws, the Company will not make any purchases during a time at which its insiders are subject to a blackout from trading in the Company’s common stock.
The Company is currently in a blackout period, which will continue through the date that is the second trading day following its next quarterly earnings release or, if later, the date on which the Company is not aware of any material, non-public information.
“We believe our stock is undervalued at these levels, and that a buyback is a smart investment for the Company,” said chairman and chief executive Jack McDonald.
