Allegiant announces current results of stock repurchase plan
MARLTON, N.J. Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allegiant
Professional Business Services Inc. (Pink Sheets: APRO), a premier
provider of financial services to small and medium-size businesses,
previously announced that the company is acting on its stock
repurchase program. The company's Board of Directors authorized
repurchase of up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of its common
stock as market and business conditions warrant. The share
repurchases are being made by the company's designated brokerage
firm, and are being conducted under applicable SEC guidelines and
regulations. David Goldberg CEO and Chairman of Allegiant stated,
"I am pleased to report that beginning October 14, 2009, pursuant
to rule 10b-18, we began repurchasing our common stock. Repurchase,
under the rule, restricts the amount of stock the company can
repurchase based on volume formulas." Goldberg continued, "We
believe the current valuation of Allegiant's common shares makes
the repurchase of our equity a solid investment for the company and
are committed to continuing the program. Mr. Goldberg added, "Our
business is continuing to grow at an outstanding run rate. We
estimate annual payroll runs upwards of Ninety Million Dollars
($90,000,000.00) for year ending December 2009. We will continue to
aggressively seek strategic acquisitions to further grow the
business". Allegiant Professional Business Services Inc. provides
financial services to small and medium-size businesses, relieving
our clients from many of the day-to-day tasks that negatively
impact their core business operations, such as payroll processing,
human resources support, workers' compensation insurance, safety
programs, employee benefits, and other administrative and
aftermarket services predominantly related to staffing -- staff
leasing, temporary staffing and co-employment. We not only provide
core services but a wide selection of employee and employer
benefits and aftermarket products. Safe Harbor: Statements in this
