Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that, effective April 14, 2022, it has terminated its Rule 10b5-1/10b-18 Repurchase Plan dated June 4, 2021. Since June 2021, Retractable has purchased a total of 1,087,145 shares for approximately $8.1 million under the Plan. The Board of Directors determined to cancel the plan because the stock price appears not to be correlated with the economic performance of the corporation at this time. This determination to terminate the repurchase plan was made despite the fact that the stock is trading at a discount: our current market capitalization is less than the asset value of the corporation.
