On May 16, 2023, the ServiceNow, Inc. ("ServiceNow" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the Company's first-ever share repurchase program. The new program authorizes the purchase of up to $1.5 billion in shares of the Company's common stock. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly stated by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The ServiceNow Board has authorized a program to repurchase
up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock. The Company may repurchase shares of its 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 Exchange Act in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended, or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of its 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
