The share repurchase program authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to $300 million of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The program will be implemented through open market and privately negotiated transactions, and is expected to be completed over a three year period. Hubbell’s existing repurchase program – begun in early 1998 to purchase an equal value of stock – is expected to be virtually completed by year-end 2000. Once completed, the newly authorized program will begin.
The Board also declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.33 per share of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 11, 2001, to shareholders of record on December 18 , 2000.
