LISLE, Ill. - Electronic components company Molex Inc., said Friday it has agreed to buy 2 million of its common shares from the company's co-chairman of the board.

The company said it paid Frederick Krehbiel $13.33 per share, which works out to about $26.7 million.

Krehbiel said that proceeds of the stock sale were being used to repay "personal indebtedness" under a loan obligation and don't reflect his view of the company's prospects.

Molex shares rose 44 cents, or 3.6 percent, to close at $12.84 Friday.
