NOTE 2 – PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK

Our purchases of common stock during the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 consisted of shares purchased on the open market and shares withheld for income taxes on stock-based compensation awards. Our stock-based compensation plans allow shares to be withheld to cover statutory income taxes if elected by the award recipient. These shares are valued at the market price on the date the awards were issued. Our fiscal 2026 purchases of common stock through May 31, 2026, consisted of the following (in thousands):

On August 14, 2025 we initiated a 10b5-1 plan to purchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock through daily transactions. This 10b5-1 plan was completed in October 2025. On November 17, 2025, we initiated a new 10b5-1 plan to purchase up to $20.0 million of our common stock through daily transactions. This 10b5-1 plan was completed in January 2026. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock on the open market during the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
