NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX), today announced that it has completed the $200 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in May 2021. The Company has repurchased 895,136 outstanding Wix ordinary shares, representing approximately 1.6% of total shares outstanding, at an approximate volume-weighted average price per share of $223.41.

"Today's announcement reflects our confidence in the continued strength of our business and our ability to successfully execute on our long-term strategy," said Lior Shemesh, CFO of Wix.
