Expedia backpedals on ASR plans; $1 billion in shareholder value destroyed
Citing unacceptable terms in the current debt market, Expedia’s chairman Barry Diller announced that the company is scaling back its stock repurchase program to a maximum of 25 million shares, down from the 116 million shares announced in June.
The market reacted unfavorably to the announcement, driving the share price down over 12% in 2 days.
