“The distribution of excess cash is being supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which has a maturity date in June 2024, thereby allowing us to prudently use financial leverage in a low interest rate environment while also preserving available capital to meet the needs of our business units,” commented John Steitz, President and CEO of Tredegar.
Tredegar shares are currently trading at $20.80 premarket on Wednesday, their highest point since February after a 25.34% from Tuesday’s close at $16.60.
