MIND Technology Announces ATM and Stock Buyback Programs
Rhea-AI Summary
MIND Technology (Nasdaq: MIND) has announced two significant financial programs: an at-the-market (ATM) offering of up to $25.0 million in common stock through Lucid Capital Markets LLC, and a stock buyback program authorizing the repurchase of up to $4.0 million of common stock through August 31, 2027.

Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, "We have taken these preparatory steps so that we can act quickly and efficiently should circumstances or market conditions warrant. These actions are consistent with our stated strategy to explore all ways to enhance stockholder value. Should we have a need for additional capital to exploit growth opportunities or should there be an opportunity to raise non-dilutive capital, the ATM program will enable us to do so in a very efficient manner. On the other hand, should market conditions indicate that investment in our own stock is the best use of our capital, the stock buyback program will position us to do that quickly and efficiently."
