Clorox board authorizes new $750M share repurchase, cancels old programs Clorox disclosed in a regulatory filing that on May 13, the board of directors of the company terminated its previously announced May 13, 2008 and May 18, 2011 share repurchase authorizations and authorized an updated share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase amount of up to $750M. This reduces the total dollar value of shares that the company could repurchase under its open market share repurchase program from $821M to $750M. This $750M open market share repurchase program is in addition to the company’s previously announced evergreen repurchase program to reduce or eliminate dilution in connection with issuances of stock under the company’s stock incentive plans.
