Item 8.01. Other Events
On March 16, 2020, the Board of Directors of Liberty Latin America Ltd. (the “Company”) approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which authorizes the Company to repurchase from time to time up to $100 million of its issued and outstanding Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares, as the case may be (the “Common Shares”), over the next two years, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its Common Shares, and there is no assurance that the Company will do so. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the Share Repurchase Program is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase its Common Shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means. Any open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal requirements.  Repurchases may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities, as determined by the Company. The Share Repurchase Program will be executed consistent with LLA's captial allocation strategy and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
