USCS INTERNATIONAL AUTHORIZES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 1997--USCS
International Inc. (NASDAQ:USCS) today announced that its Board of
Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's
common stock through open market purchases from time to time as USCS
management deems appropriate.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, there were 24,620,000
average weighted common shares outstanding. "This action by our Board
reflects the degree of confidence in the Company's future sustained
growth," said Dr. James Castle, chairman and chief executive officer.
"This decision was made in view of the price at which the Company's
stock has recently traded, and we intend to use the stock in
connection with employee stock plans. We feel that share repurchases
are an excellent method of providing stock for these programs, and
would therefore be beneficial to shareholders and employees."
