NEW CANAAN, Conn., September 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. (OTCQX: NLCP) (the “Company” or “NewLake”), a leading provider of real estate capital to state-licensed cannabis operators, today provided an update regarding its $10 million common share repurchase program. To date, the Company has acquired 713,831 shares of common stock at an average price, including commissions, of $12.96 per share, utilizing approximately $9.3 million of the original $10 million authorization. Thus, on September 15, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a $10 million increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program and extended the duration to conclude on December 31, 2024, giving the Company approximately $10.7 million remaining available under the program.

“We continue to believe there is compelling value in our stock and while we continue to have conviction around the cannabis sector, the opportunity to invest in our stock was particularly attractive. The authorization by our Board of an additional $10 million under our share repurchase program allows us to continue to be opportunistic in stock repurchases while working to deploy additional capital into sale leaseback transactions,” stated Anthony Coniglio, NewLake’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Any purchases made pursuant to the program will be made either in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rules 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
