Exhibit 99.1
Sensata Technologies Announces new $500 Million Share Repurchase Authorization
Swindon, United Kingdom – January 20, 2022 – Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new ordinary share repurchase program of $500 million. This plan replaces Sensata’s prior ordinary share repurchase program which had $254 million remaining authorization as of December 31, 2021. Sensata’s shareholders have previously approved the forms of share repurchase agreements and the potential broker counterparties needed to execute the buyback program.
“Our share repurchase plan demonstrates our belief in our financial outlook and our ability to generate strong free cash flow, which we can deploy into value-creating initiatives for our shareholders,” said Jeff Cote, CEO and President. “We will continue to pursue M&A to expand our Megatrend growth initiatives. The new repurchase program will augment our existing capital deployment strategies and enable us to drive attractive returns on invested capital over the long-term.”
The Company’s ordinary shares may be repurchased from time to time depending on market conditions or other factors through open market or privately negotiated transactions. In addition, repurchases of ordinary shares may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
