With its stock at an all-time low, the Time Inc. board on Thursday voted after the market closed to accelerate its previously announced $500 million stock buyback and debt reduction program.

The plan is to buy back up to $300 million in common stock while trimming up to $200 million in debt.

On Thursday, the Time stock sank to a new low of $15.99 before closing at $16 a share, down 3.5 percent.

The buyback means Time is preparing to spend the $685 million it received from its recent'sale of the Blue Fin Building that it owns in downtown London.

In the Big Apple, the company is in the midst of a move from the Time & Life Building in Rockefeller Center to its new downtown HQ, which it says will save $50 million in real estate costs.
