SIERRA BLANCA, TX--(Marketwire - Jan 2, 2013) - Texas Rare Earth Resources Corp. (
Overview of Common Share Purchases:
Dan Gorski, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The board and entire management team believes that at our current valuation our company is undervalued and made a decision to enhance shareholder value by investing in ourselves and repurchasing our common stock. On multiple occasions over the past 3 months insiders have taken the opportunity to buy stock as it presented itself. As we begin 2013, we are optimistic about the strategy we have set forth based on our business plan and believe we have sufficient capital to execute on this plan through 2014."
The repurchase of shares of common stock on December 27, 2012, was made pursuant to a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement. The purchase of shares of common stock by directors on December 28, 2012, was made pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction with the same private investor. The per share repurchase price and the purchase price for the shares was determined through arms-length negotiations with the private investor.
The stock repurchase agreement and the related transactions were approved by our board of directors. The repurchase price was paid through cash on hand from our available surplus. Other than the private repurchase as described above, our board of directors has not authorized any stock repurchase program or plan, and we have no current plans to effect any open-market purchases of our common stock or other repurchases of our common stock.
