Anthony J. Allott, Chief Executive Officer of Silgan Holdings Inc. (NasdaqGS:SLGN) said,"But to be clear, what we have said is that our preferred use has always been acquisition first. And so, I think with the Dispensing Systems business, we've increased the opportunity to find acquisitions that can fit on. So I think we would certainly go through that filter first, which hopefully is a tougher filter now than it was. And then I'll go really theoretical on you, but if the world isn't good as you started the question, then probably the leverage desire of the equity market will get tougher and that'll make it a harder decision, because you'd be relevering yourself to do a buyback in a time when maybe leverage is not viewed positively by the equity markets.,"
