Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited Announces Completion of Its 300,000 Shares Stock Buyback and Approval of New Stock Buyback

Posted on: Friday, 31 July 2009, 07:00 CDT

HONG KONG, July 31 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT) today announced that it has recently completed the 300,000 shares stock buyback program authorized in November 2008. The Board of Directors has also approved a new program to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of its issued and outstanding stock by July 31, 2010. This gives Euro Tech the ability to purchase the stock in the open market or through negotiated or block transactions from time to time based on market and business conditions over the next 12 months.

The Board has a high degree of confidence in Euro Tech's future and believes that this expectation is not reflected in the current stock price which is also much lower than our net asset value on a per share basis.
