FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 25 /PRNewswire/ --
Parlux Fragrances, Inc. (Nasdaq: PARL) reported today that it had
substantially completed the latest phase of its common stock open market
buyback program involving 2.5 million shares, resulting in the reduction in
total outstanding shares to approximately 9,969,000.
The Company's Board of Directors believes the Company's common stock
continues to be undervalued and an additional buyback at current prices will
further increase the Company's book value per share. Accordingly, the Board
authorized a new program to purchase, from time to time, up to an additional
2.5 million shares of common stock. Any purchase made pursuant to this
program shall be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and
subject to the restrictions and covenants in the Company's financing
agreements.
Ilia Lekach, Chairman and CEO, indicated, "This is just another step in
our continuing effort to achieve a market price for our shares with a multiple
of earnings more in line with our peer group."
