News Releases

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2023-- Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $250 million of its outstanding common stock through the end of December 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased $50 million or approximately 900,000 shares. The Company has repurchased a total of approximately 4.8 million shares since the fourth quarter of 2020 thereby reducing dilution by 3.4%.

Sherri Luther, Chief Financial Officer, said, "With our recent share repurchase in the fourth quarter of 2023, we have executed on our thirteenth consecutive quarter of share buybacks. This latest share repurchase program expansion that we are announcing today is an important component of our capital allocation program and reflects the financial strength of our business, confidence in our long-term financial model, and continued commitment to delivering shareholder value.”

The repurchase program expansion is effective immediately. Under the program, Lattice may purchase shares of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under this program will depend on market conditions, share price, corporate and regulatory considerations, and other factors. The Company intends to conduct the program in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by the Company at any time without prior notice.
