On October 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) approved a share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time over the next three years. The Company expects to acquire shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions and may enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to facilitate open-market repurchases. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. Repurchases are expected to be made from available cash on hand.
The new share repurchase program replaces the Company’s prior $400 million share repurchase program which expires on November 8, 2020. As of October 20, 2020, the Company had repurchased 826,197 shares at an average price of $82.09 per share, paying a total of $67.8 million under the expiring share repurchase program.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks referenced in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the fact that the Company’s share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements set forth in this report to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.
