ROLLE, Switzerland, Nov. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX), a leading, differentiated technology provider for the automotive industry, today announced it has authorized a $100 million share repurchase program valid until November 15, 2022. The board has formed a pricing committee, including certain independent board members, to determine the best pricing and structure for the share repurchase program.
