Live Ventures Kicks off Stock Repurchase Program, Announces Acquisition of 53,510 Shares of Common Stock

LAS VEGAS, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Live Ventures Incorporated (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("Live Ventures" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, today announced it has acquired 53,510 shares of its common stock as part of its recently established $10 million stock repurchase program that it announced in its Form 8-K on January 22, 2016.  The shares were acquired at approximately 10-15 percent below the April 18th closing price of $1.70 per share.

"The second quarter of our current fiscal year will mark the first time since the arrival of current management that Live Ventures will witness a decline in our issued and outstanding shares," said Jon Isaac, CEO of Live Ventures Incorporated. "Our buy-back of these shares represents our continuing commitment to our goal of building long-term value for our stockholders."

The Company's stock repurchase program allows the Company to acquire up to $10 million worth of its common stock at prevailing market prices.  Management has indicated that the program is designed to strengthen the Company's long-term financial structure by capitalizing on the current undervaluation of its stock in the open market.  The details of the stock repurchase program are further outlined in the above-referenced Form 8-K, which can be found on the Company's website or at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045742/000101968716004911/0001019687-16-004911-index.htm.
