SED International Holdings Authorizes Additional Funds For Stock Repurchases

TUCKER, Ga.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--SED International Holdings, Inc. (Amex: SED), a multinational supply chain management provider and distributor of leading computer technology, consumer electronics, small appliances and cellular products, today announced that on June 1, 2011, its Board of Directors approved an additional $250,000 for the repurchase of its common stock in the open market or individually negotiated transactions under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

“Given our progress and confidence in our future growth prospects we believe we are undervalued and therefore, continue to expand our stock repurchase program in order to create value for our shareholders.”

This authorization brings the aggregate dollar amount authorized by SED’s Board of Directors to more than $1.5 million since the inception of the repurchase plan in August 2009. As of March 31, 2011, SED had repurchased a total of 331,784 shares at an average cost of $3.38.

“During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 we posted an 11% increase in net sales compared to the 2010 period and surpassed our net income level recorded for the full year fiscal 2010,” said Jonathan Elster, SED’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Given our progress and confidence in our future growth prospects we believe we are undervalued and therefore, continue to expand our stock repurchase program in order to create value for our shareholders.”

Open market purchases under the repurchase program have been structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, does not obligate SED to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated by SED’s Board of Directors at any time.

The repurchase program is funded using SED's working capital. Repurchased shares will be retired and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares or added to treasury shares, in either case, increasing the percentage ownership of all existing shareholders.

As of June 1, 2011, the closing price per share of SED's common stock was $5.05.
