XO Group Announces $20 Million Stock Repurchase Program

"We continue to believe that XO Group's repurchase of our shares represents an excellent long-term investment and that this action to adopt a new stock repurchase program demonstrates our commitment to enhancing shareholder value," said David Liu, Chief Executive Officer.

The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The repurchase program will be funded using the Company's working capital. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $94.7 million and approximately 30.6 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Under the prior program, the Company repurchased 3,671,526 shares of common stock for approximately $37.7 million in a privately negotiated transaction with Macy's, Inc. in February 2011, and 1,260,300 shares of common stock for approximately $12.3 million on the open market between May 2011 and August 2011.
