O'Reilly Automotive announced that its board of directors approved a resolution to increase the authorization amount under its share repurchase program by an additional $500 million, raising the aggregate authorization under the program to $5.5 billion.

The additional $500 million authorization is effective for a three-year period, beginning on May 29, 2015. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, as the company deems appropriate, solely through open market purchases effected through a broker dealer at prevailing market prices, based on a variety of factors such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions. There can be no assurance as to the number of shares the company will purchase, if any.

The share repurchase program may be increased or otherwise modified, renewed, suspended or terminated by the company at any time, without prior notice.

O'Reilly Automotive was founded in 1957 by the O'Reilly family and is one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket

parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories in the United States. As of March 31, 2015, the company operated 4,433 stores in 43 states.
