The price of Panera Bread Company (PNRA) stock soared more than 10% and touched a new 52-week high in after-hours trading Wednesday following the announcement that PNRA's Board of Directors approved an increase to the company's current stock buyback program to $750 million and authorized $500 million of new debt to repurchase shares
According to PNRA, it has entered into letters of intent to sell and refranchise 73 cafes and is on track to reach its refranchising goal for 2015 of up to 150 cafes. The company expects to use the proceeds from the refranchising efforts to repurchase shares.

After the closing bell on Wednesday, The Medicines Company (MDCO) said that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee has voted 9 - 2 with one abstention to recommend approval of the company's investigational intravenous antiplatelet agent cangrelor (which was rejected by the FDA in April 2014) as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for reducing the risk of periprocedural thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and ischemia-driven revascularization.
The Committee recommendation will be considered by the FDA in its review of the NDA for cangrelor, but the FDA is not required to follow them. MDCO expects the FDA to make its decision on cangrelor by June 23, 2015.
Trading in MDCO stock was halted through the day.
MDCO's vision is to be a leading provider of solutions in three areas: serious infectious disease care, acute cardiovascular care and surgery and perioperative care.
