BUFFALO, N.Y., April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CTG (NASDAQ: CTGX), an international information technology (IT) solutions and services company, today announced that it has extended a stock repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Company 10b5-1 Plan") to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock. The Company had approximately 1.1 million shares available for repurchase as of March 31, 2011 under its outstanding repurchase authorizations.  

"We are again extending our 10b5-1 plan as it gives us the ability to repurchase shares during our self-imposed blackout periods prior to the announcement of quarterly results," said CTG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James R. Boldt.

The plan does not require that any shares be purchased.
