MAXIMUS Board Expands Share Repurchase Program up to $200 Million


MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200 million of the Company's common stock. The Company's previously authorized share repurchase program had approximately $84 million remaining at August 13, 2015.

The Company may also repurchase shares with the proceeds from stock option exercises. MAXIMUS intends to purchase shares opportunistically at prevailing market prices, through open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury and used for general corporate purposes such as issuance under employee stock plans.

"MAXIMUS remains committed to providing returns to our shareholders, as evidenced by this most recent expansion of our share repurchase program, which also provides us with the financial flexibility needed to continue to invest in and grow our business," commented Richard A. Montoni, MAXIMUS Chief Executive Officer.
