The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
2026 Share Repurchase Program
On June 11, 2026, the Board of Directors the Company approved a share repurchase program (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”) providing for the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of Common Stock through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans established to comply with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The 2026 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance metrics, market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.
In connection with the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, on June 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Rule 10b-18 Repurchase Agreement (the “10b-18 Plan”) with Virtu Americas LLC (the “Broker”) whereby the Broker has agreed to act as a non-exclusive agent on behalf of the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The 10b-18 Plan will continue in effect until terminated by either the Company or the Broker, with or without cause, upon written notice to the other party. The Company will pay the Broker a commission at a rate of $0.02 for each share of Common Stock repurchased pursuant to the 10b-18 Plan.
