ATLANTA, Feb. 25, 2016 -- State Bank Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:STBZ) today announced that on February 24, 2016, it entered into a written trading plan with a broker for the purpose of repurchasing up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
A plan under Rule 10b5-1 allows companies to repurchase shares when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. The broker will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. Because repurchases made under the plan are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain constraints specified in the plan, there is no guarantee regarding the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan.
