Adient announces increased share repurchase authorization and adoption of tax benefits preservation plan
Adient's board approved a $400M increase to its share repurchase authorization, bringing the total program to $1 billion with $435 million currently remaining.
The company has repurchased $565 million of shares under the program launched in November 2022, which management framed as reflecting confidence in cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation.
The board also adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to protect approximately $3.5 billion of usable tax attributes (NOL carryforwards) from an unintended Section 382 ownership change. The plan issues one right per share at an $83.50 exercise price, triggered at 4.95% beneficial ownership, and will be put to a shareholder vote at the next annual meeting.
