Common Stock
The Company's Board of Directors follows a policy of declaring, subject to legally available funds, a quarterly cash dividend on each share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), unless the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. The amount available to the Company to pay its current and anticipated regular quarterly cash dividends is not currently restricted by its existing material financing arrangements and its indentures governing its senior unsecured notes. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, the results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Company's Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company reduced its quarterly dividend by approximately 95%.
The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share on its Common Stock on July 15, 2026, amounting to $3 million. The cash dividend will be paid on August 10, 2026 to holders of record as of July 28, 2026.
Treasury Stock
The Company's Board of Directors authorizes repurchases of Common Stock from time to time. These authorizations give management discretion in determining the timing and conditions under which shares may be repurchased. This repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
