Preferred And Common Stock PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK
Preferred stock: The Company has 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, of which 250,000 shares have been designated as Series A Serial Preferred Stock. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.
Common stock: The Company currently has 120,000,000 authorized shares of common stock.
Stock incentive plans: The 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders on September 3, 2025, at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting (the “2025 Plan Effective Date”). There were 1,650,000 shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan as of the 2025 Plan Effective Date. The 2025 Plan replaces the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"), under which no new awards were allowed to be granted as of the 2025 Plan Effective Date. Outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan continue to be governed by the terms thereof and the award agreements made pursuant thereto, including any such terms that are intended to survive the termination of the 2018 Plan or the settlement of such awards. Shares subject to awards under the 2018 Plan that expire, are forfeited, cancelled, or settled in cash will be added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan. Awards under the 2025 Plan may take the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based and equity-related awards, each of which, upon issuance, is counted as one share against the 2025 Plan share reserve. At April 30, 2026, there were 1,644,574 shares that remain available for grant under the 2025 Plan.
The following table presents a summary of our restricted stock unit activity during the three-year period ended April 30, 2026. At April 30, 2026, there were no stock options, stock appreciation rights or other equity-based awards outstanding.

On, and effective as of, March 3, 2022, the Board authorized the Original Repurchase Program, whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase its outstanding common stock from time-to-time, for an aggregate amount of up to $400,000, exclusive of fees, commissions, excise taxes, or other costs. During the year, we repurchased and retired 355,107 shares of our common stock under the Original Repurchase Program for a total of $200,498, excluding fees, commissions, excise taxes, and other costs. As of April 30, 2026, $94,612 remained available thereunder. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, on, and effective as of, June 4, 2026, the Board authorized the Expanded Repurchase Program, which increased the amount of the Original Repurchase Program to a total aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000, exclusive of fees, commissions, excise taxes, or other costs. The Expanded Repurchase Program has no set expiration date and the timing and number of repurchase transactions thereunder depends on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, corporate considerations, business opportunities, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements. The Expanded Repurchase Program can be suspended or discontinued at any time.
