[{"type":"text","content":" SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nSonos, Inc.

Under these prior authorizations, the company repurchased 5.2 million shares at an average price of $19.30 per share enabling the company to return capital to shareholders and offset dilution from compensation plans.\n\nPatrick Spence, Sonos CEO, commented, “We have just completed a record fiscal 2021 and are confident in the long-term growth, profit and cash generation of our model. We are committed to driving long-term shareholder value.
