HUIZHOU,Guangdong, China, Sept. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qiao
Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. (Nasdaq: XING) today announced that the board
of directors of its subsidiary Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. ("Qiao
Xing Mobile") has approved a share repurchase program. Under the terms of the
approved program, Qiao Xing Mobile may repurchase up to an aggregate of US$20
million worth of its issued and outstanding shares from time to time in open-
market transactions on the NYSE Euronext.
The repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at
prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market, in block
trades, pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan or otherwise. The purchases will be made
subject to restrictions relating to volume, price and timing. The timing and
extent of any purchases will depend upon market conditions, the trading price
of its shares and other factors. Qiao Xing Mobile expects to implement this
share repurchase program over the next 12 months in a manner consistent with
market conditions and the interest of the shareholders. Qiao Xing Mobile's
board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and
may authorize adjustment of its terms and size accordingly. Qiao Xing Mobile
plans to fund repurchases made under this program from available working
capital.
Mr. Wu Zhi Yang, Vice Chairman of the Company and Chairman of Qiao Xing
Mobile, commented, "The approval of the share repurchase program by our board
of directors reflects our ongoing commitment to increase shareholder value and
confidence that the current share price levels do not reflect our current
potential value. In addition, we strongly believe that our available cash
resources will allow us to implement a share repurchase program while
continuing to pursue growth opportunities."
Mr. Wu Rui Lin, Chairman of XING, commented, "At the parent company level,
we are also considering any appropriate measure for the best interest of our
shareholders."
