Varian Medical Systems Announces $250 Million Accelerated Stock Repurchase; Increases Its Revolving Credit Facility

August 26, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Varian Medical
Systems (NYSE:
VAR
) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with
Bank of America, N.A. to repurchase $250 million of its common
stock under an accelerated share repurchase program.
 Concurrently, the company amended its revolving credit
facility with Bank of America, N.A. to increase its borrowing
capacity from $225 million to $300 million.

Under the accelerated repurchase agreement, Varian will pay $250

million share repurchase authorization approved by the company’s
Board of Directors on February 11, 2011 with an expiration at the
end of fiscal year 2012.  At the conclusion of the accelerated
share repurchase program, the company expects that approximately
7.4 million shares will remain under the February 11, 2011
authorization, depending on the company’s stock price during the
accelerated repu
