Share Repurchase Program and Common Stock Retirement

On January 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $60 million of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock over a period of 24 months, expiring January 31, 2026. On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a second share repurchase program for up to $100 million of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, expiring January 1, 2028. Under both share repurchase programs, the Company may repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Pursuant to the share repurchase plans, the Company repurchased no shares of its common stock and 392,418 shares of its common stock for $19.9 million during the three and nine months ended June 27, 2026. respectively. During the same periods in fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased 245,249 and 1,048,051 shares of its common stock, respectively, for $8.9 million and $39.0 million, respectively. The Company constructively retired these shares immediately after repurchase, with the $8.9 million amount paid in excess of the $0.0001 par value of each share during the three months ended June 28, 2025, and the $19.9 million and $39.0 million amounts paid in excess of the $0.0001 par value of each share during the nine months ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, recorded as a reduction in retained earnings. The shares repurchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 resulted in the Company utilizing all $60 million that was authorized under the initial share repurchase program prior to its expiration date. The total remaining authorization for future common stock repurchases under the Company's $100 million share repurchase program was $90.6 million as of June 27, 2026.

Exchangeable Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock

In connection with the acquisition of Micro Bird as discussed in further detail in Note 13, Micro Bird Acquisition, below, the former owners of the 50% of the outstanding voting common stock of Micro Bird that the Company acquired received 2,702,180 shares of Class A non-voting exchangeable common stock of MB Exchangeco Inc. (“MB ExchangeCo”), a newly formed Canadian Company subsidiary. The shares of exchangeable common stock are exchangeable on a one-to-one basis with, and participate in Company dividends and undistributed earnings in an equal manner as, Company common stock. The exchangeable common stock has no rights with respect to MB ExchangeCo, other than the right to exchange into shares of Company common stock. This right requires MB ExchangeCo to redeem each share of exchangeable common stock upon the request of the holder for one share of Company common stock, plus unpaid dividends declared by the Company, if any.

The exchangeable common stock may not be transferred without the Company's consent. In addition, the exchangeable common stock and any Company common stock issued upon exchange is subject to a contractual lock-up period as follows: no transfers of the shares may occur for a period of six months following the acquisition closing date, or until October 1, 2026. Thereafter, the shares will be released from lock-up as follows: 17.9% on each of October 1, 2026, April 1, 2027 and October 1, 2027; 27.8% on April 1, 2028 and the remaining 18.5% on April 1, 2029.

The issuance of the exchangeable common stock was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Company common stock issued upon the exchange of the exchangeable common stock, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the contractual restrictions described above, and to generally cause the registration statement to remain effective while the exchangeable common stock remains outstanding.
The former owners also received one share of newly-created Company preferred stock with voting rights in Company common stock equivalent to the number of shares of exchangeable common stock outstanding at any time. The combination of the exchangeable common stock and the voting preferred stock results in the holders having rights equivalent to those of holders of Company common stock as it pertains to voting, dividends, undistributed earnings and and other economic rights.
