On March 29, 2024, the Board authorized a program to repurchase shares of its common stock up to an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, inclusive of amounts remaining under the existing repurchase authorization. The program (the Treasury Stock Repurchase Plan) is designed to provide the Company with enhanced flexibility over the long term to optimize its capital structure. Shares of the Common Stock may be repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions. The program may be terminated or suspended at any time at the discretion of the Company. The Company may enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to effect a portion of the authorized purchases if the criteria set forth in the plan are met.
