KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dec. 13, 2013 — Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced that its board of directors approved a stock repurchase program on December 12, 2013, at its regularly scheduled Board meeting, authorizing the repurchase of up to $217 million of its common stock. The company plans to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, by block purchase, or possibly through other transactions managed by broker-dealers. No time limit was set for completion of the program.

Based on the Dec. 12, 2013, closing price, approximately 4.0 million shares, or 1.2 percent of the company’s shares outstanding, could be repurchased. The repurchase is intended to offset a portion of the dilution created by future equity grants and will be funded from working capital. The previous stock repurchase program approved by Cerner’s board of directors in 2012 was completed.

“At current prices, we believe the repurchase of our stock is a good use of funds,” stated Neal Patterson, Cerner’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder. “This program reflects our commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value and our confidence in Cerner’s prospects as a leader in the growing health care industry.”
