On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of our Class A Common Stock over three years (the “Common Stock Repurchase Program”). Execution of the program was responsive to fluctuating market conditions and valuations, liquidity needs and the expected return on investment compared to other opportunities.

The amount and timing of purchases was dependent on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, general market conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, general business conditions, the level of cash flows, and corporate considerations determined by management and the Board, such as liquidity and capital needs and the availability of attractive alternative investment opportunities. As of June 30, 2025, we had repurchased and retired 3,178,147 shares of our Class A Common Stock for $30.0 million under the Common Stock Repurchase Program, of which 332,599 shares were repurchased and retired for $4.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. There were no shares repurchased under the Common Stock Repurchase Program for the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, 285,392 and 945,749 shares were repurchased and retired for $3.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively, under the Common Stock Repurchase Program. The repurchase amount is allocated between “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used approximately $2.0 million to repurchase for cash 148,921 shares of its Class A Common Stock. Such transactions were authorized separately from, and not considered a part of the Common Stock Repurchase Program. The repurchase amount is allocated between “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We maintain a Board-approved incentive plan to retain the services of our valued officers, directors and employees and to incentivize such persons to make contributions to our company and motivate excellent performance (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, we grant awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees and non-employee directors. Awards granted to employees are typically subject to performance and service conditions. Awards granted to non-employee directors are time-based awards subject only to service conditions. Awards granted under the Incentive Plan are measured at the grant date fair value with compensation costs associated with the awards recognized over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period, on a straight-line basis.

The following table presents a summary of stock compensation activity:
