ServiceNow Announces Plans to Initiate First-Ever Share Repurchase Program

Program authorizes up to $1.5 billion of common stock to be repurchased

Knowledge 2023 – ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the company’s first-ever share repurchase program. The new program authorizes the purchase of up to $1.5 billion in shares of common stock. The program’s primary objective is managing the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs.

“We are a growth company at heart, and we see a lot of runway ahead to continue investing in innovation to drive strong organic growth in a thoughtful and disciplined manner,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “Given the current macro environment and our strong cash flow generation, we believe that using a portion of our free cash flow to manage dilution is a strategic use of capital. This program reflects our conviction in the trajectory of our business and our commitment to driving exceptional shareholder value.”

With this new program, ServiceNow may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate ServiceNow to acquire any amount of common stock. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations.
