[{"type":"text","content":" RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nMedalist Diversified REIT, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRR) (the “Company” or “Medalist”), is a Virginia-based real estate investment trust that specializes in acquiring, owning and managing commercial real estate in the Southeast region of the U.S.\n\nOn December 21, 2021, the board of directors of Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc. approved a program that will allow management to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, up to a maximum price of $4.80 per share. As of today, February 8, 2022, the Company has repurchased 268,070 of its shares. This action took place in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The company’s decision to repurchase its shares, as well as the timing of the repurchases depended on a variety of factors that included the ongoing assessment of the Company’s capital needs, market conditions and the price of the Company’s common stock and other corporate considerations, all as determined by management. The Company may not purchase additional shares until its 2021 year end financials are released. The Company intends to continue to opportunistically repurchase its common stock as soon as permitted under the repurchase plan and when favorable market conditions exist.\n\nThe repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.\n\nThomas E. Messier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In addition to continuing to deploy capital for investment property acquisitions, we want to be able to buy back shares when our own financial position and market conditions permit. The Company’s decision to repurchase shares at this time should signal the conviction that our Board and management have in the Company’s strategy. While our primary emphasis will remain on continuing our strategy of growth through additional investment property acquisitions, we intend to be decisive when there are opportunities to enhance stockholder value and make good on our commitment to strengthen the Company’s capital structure.”\n\nAbout Medalist Diversified REIT\n\nMedalist Diversified REIT Inc. is a Virginia-based real estate investment trust...
