TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Technology, Inc. ("Align") (Nasdaq: ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® system of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced that it has entered into a new accelerated stock repurchase agreement ("ASR") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citi"), to repurchase $250 million of Align's common stock under Align's $1.0 billion stock repurchase program announced on May 13, 2021.
"We're pleased to announce this latest $250 million ASR, which reflects the strength of our balance sheet and cash flow generation, as well as management's and the Board's continued confidence in our ability to capitalize on the large market opportunities in our target markets and trajectory for growth," said John Morici, Align CFO. "Returning capital to our shareholders through stock repurchase programs while simultaneously investing in our strategic growth drivers, is consistent with our capital allocation strategy and commitment to increasing shareholder value."
Our latest stock repurchase program will operate in accordance with guidelines, specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, transactions, if any, will be affected in accordance with the terms of the share repurchase program, including specified prices, volumes, and timing conditions. As of December 31, 2022, Align had approximately 77.3 million shares outstanding and $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term marketable securities.
Under the terms of the ASR, Align will receive an initial delivery of approximately 580 thousand shares. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on Align's volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the ASR, less an agreed upon discount. The ASR transaction is expected to be completed by approximately April 26, 2023 and will be funded with Align's cash on hand.

Pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement, Citi will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a portion of its hedging activity by effecting purchases through one or more designated brokers, including CastleOak Securities LP, Drexel Hamilton, LLC, and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC.
In addition to the ASR, Align announced that Joe Hogan, president and CEO, and John Morici, CFO and executive vice president, global finance intend to personally purchase $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of Align's common stock.
