Planet Payment today announced that it intends to commence a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer to repurchase for cash certain of its outstanding shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of no more than $15.0 million. The tender offer was approved by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2016.

After the tender offer commences, the Company’s stockholders will be able to tender all or a portion of their shares (1) at a price specified by the tendering stockholder of not less than $3.20 and not greater than $3.60 per share
