South Africa: PPC has commenced a buyback of US$10.8m-worth of its registered shares, the Cape Times newspaper has reported.
Chief executive officer Roland Van Wijnen said "We have been very conscious of our capital allocation to ensure our debt levels come to acceptable levels and we have finally achieved that." He added "We believe our share price is well below the true value and therefore we believe it is better for our shareholders to initiate a share purchase rather than a distribution through cash."
