COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global performance improvement solutions provider GP Strategies Corporation (NYSE: GPX) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a $5 million share repurchase program. GP Strategies' share repurchase program allows management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market subject to market conditions and other factors.

Scott Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer, commented "We believe that the share repurchase program reflects confidence in the Company and our commitment to increasing shareholder value. The buyback program allows the Company flexibility to repurchase shares at its discretion, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to invest in strategic growth initiatives."

The repurchases will be made at management's discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities law. The amount and timing of share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and prevailing stock prices.
