Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 27, 2018, Joseph S. Steinberg, a Director of Crimson Wine Group, Ltd. (the “Company”), adopted a stock trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
Under Mr. Steinberg’s Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker will purchase up to $1,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock at prevailing market prices with a maximum price per share of $9.50, provided that in no event will purchases on any purchase day exceed 12.25% of the average daily trading volume or ADTV (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(1) of the Exchange Act) reported for the Company’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the week in which the relevant purchase is to be effected. Transactions
under Mr. Steinberg’s 10b5-1 plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
During its March 2018 board meeting, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $2,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock. The repurchases will be funded by available cash. How much common stock, if any, will be repurchased will depend on market conditions, including the price of common stock.
In
furtherance of the repurchase program, on March 28, 2018, the Company adopted a stock trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “10b5-1 Plan”). Under the Company’s 10b5-1 Plan, a broker will purchase up to $2,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock at prevailing market prices with a maximum price per share of $9.30, provided that in no event will purchases on any purchase day exceed 12.25% of the ADTV (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(1) of the Exchange Act) reported for the
Company’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the week in which the relevant purchase is to be effected. Transactions under the Company’s 10b5-1 Plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
The 10b5-1 plans adopted by Mr. Steinberg and the Company are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act and the Company’s Insider Trading and Anti-Tipping Policy, which permit issuers, officers, directors or employees who are not then in possession of material non-public information to enter into a pre-arranged plan
for buying or selling Company stock under specified conditions and at specified times.
