LOS ANGELES--May 11, 2000--Peacock Financial Corp. (OTCBB:PFCK) today confirmed that it has recently bought 400,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions.The purchases were made in its own account under a previously announced stock repurchase program of the corporation.
In commenting about the purchases, Steven Peacock, president and chief executive officer of Peacock Financial, stated: "Purchases began at the 70-cent level because we are of the opinion that Peacock common stock is significantly undervalued.
