Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced that it has entered into an agreement to repurchase 8,060,145 shares of Mentor Graphics common stock beneficially owned by Carl C.

The total purchase price for the shares will be $146 million and will be funded from Mentor Graphics cash and cash equivalents on hand. The transaction is expected to be completed on February 26, 2016.
"Our decision to repurchase these shares reflects Mentor's belief in the value of our industry-leading technologies, new market franchises and strong financial position," said Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "These positions provide us with a strong foundation to deliver long-term share value."
Inclusive of this transaction, since the third quarter of fiscal 2016 earnings release on November 19, 2015, Mentor Graphics has repurchased approximately 12.2 million shares, approximately 10 percent, of our fully diluted shares outstanding.
