ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO) announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a stock repurchase program, under which it may repurchase up to $25 million of its common stock. The primary goal of the repurchase program is to allow Gevo to opportunistically repurchase shares, while maintaining Gevo’s ability to fund its development projects.
“This stock repurchase program demonstrates the confidence that the Board, management, and I have in the future of Gevo in light of what we believe to be the considerably undervalued price of our common stock," said Dr. Patrick R. Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer. “Gevo is a company that is on a strategic path that we believe will produce sustained profitability and growth in the future. We see this stock repurchase program as a tool that could further enhance the value of our Company in the years ahead."
Under the stock repurchase program, stock repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or through privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, volume and nature of stock repurchases, if any, will be in the Company’s sole discretion and will be dependent on market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period and may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. H.C. Wainwright & Co. will execute the stock repurchase program on behalf of Gevo.
About Gevo
Gevo’s mission is to transform renewable energy and carbon into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons can be used for drop-in transportation fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel, that when burned have potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas emissions when measured across the full lifecycle of the products. Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials, and is in an advanced state of developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their lifecycle). Gevo’s products perform as well or better than traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that it possesses the technology and know-how to convert various carbohydrate feedstocks through a fermentation process into alcohols and then transform the alcohols into renewable fuels and materials, through a combination of its own technology, know-how, engineering, and licensing of technology and engineering from Axens North America, Inc., which yields the potential to generate project and corporate returns that justify the build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.
Gevo believes that Argonne National Laboratory GREET model is the best available standard of scientific based measurement for life cycle inventory or LCI.
