ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On June 24, 2005, Belden CDT Inc. adopted a written trading plan under Rule
10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the continuing
repurchase of its common stock in accordance with the share repurchase plan
announced May 23, 2005. A broker selected by the Company will have the
authority, under terms and limitations specified in the plan, to repurchase
shares on behalf of the Company under the existing repurchase authorization.
The 10b5-1 plan permits the Company to repurchase stock at times when it would
ordinarily not be in the market because of the Company's trading policies.
Purchases may be made under the plan beginning June 27, and the Company may
terminate the plan at any time. There can be no assurance that any shares will
in fact be purchased under the plan.
On May 21, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to $125 million of the Company's common stock. Through June 24, the
Company had repurchased 713,300 shares at an average price of $20.54.
Repurchases are subject to market conditions and other factors. The Company may
limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.
