Repurchase Programs
2025 Repurchase Program
In October 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2025 Repurchase Program, which authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2027. The shares may be repurchased at management’s discretion, either on the open market or in privately negotiated block transactions. Management’s decision to repurchase shares will depend on price, blackout periods and other corporate developments. Purchases may occur from time to time and no maximum purchase price has been set.
As part of the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Company entered into an ASR program (the "2025 ASR Program") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association N.A. ("JPM") on November 11, 2025. Under the terms of the 2025 ASR Program, on November 12, 2025, the Company made an aggregate payment of $50 million and received an initial delivery of 1,926,782 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial price of $20.76 per share, representing approximately 73% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock purchased under the 2025 ASR Program. The 2025 ASR Program was completed on February 2, 2026, which resulted in delivery of 701,517 additional shares to the Company. The final share settlement was based on the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company's shares, netted against the initial delivery. The shares received were immediately retired and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity.
In March 2026, the Company repurchased 578,742 shares under the 2025 Repurchase Program at an average share price of $17.28 for an aggregate payment of $10.0 million.
The Company entered into an additional $90 million ASR program (the “2026 ASR Program”) on May 4, 2026 with JPM to repurchase the remaining authorized amount under the 2025 Repurchase Program. Under the terms of the 2026 ASR Program, on May 5, 2026, the Company made an aggregate payment of $90 million and received an initial delivery of 3,084,833 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial price of $23.34 per share, representing approximately 80% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock expected to be purchased under the 2026 ASR Program. The shares received were immediately retired and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders' equity. Given the Company’s ability to settle in shares, as described below, the remaining $18 million prepaid forward contract was classified as a reduction to additional-paid-in-capital upon issuance and as of June 30, 2026. The final settlement of the 2026 ASR Program is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026.
Under the ASR programs, upon settlement, the Company was permitted to either receive additional shares of common stock from JPM or were required to deliver additional shares of common stock or cash to JPM, at the Company’s election. The final number of shares the Company repurchased was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR programs, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR programs. Cash settlement was not mandatory pursuant to the terms of the ASR programs.
As of June 30, 2026, no amount remained available under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
2026 Repurchase Program
On April 30, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Repurchase Program”), which authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of the Company’s common stock and has no expiration date.
Repurchases under the 2026 Repurchase Program will be made pursuant to open market purchases, solicited or unsolicited privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and may be effected pursuant to 10b5-1 plans, and in compliance with applicable securities laws and other requirements. The 2026 Repurchase Program will be funded using the Company's cash on hand and future cash flow generation.
The timing, manner, price, and amount of repurchases under the 2026 Repurchase Program is subject to the discretion of the Company’s management. The Company is not obligated to acquire a specified number of shares under the 2026 Repurchase Program, which may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. The shares received will be immediately retired and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity.
As of June 30, 2026, $200.0 million remained available under the 2026 Repurchase Program.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approved the grants of RSUs (including PRSUs) under the 2026 Inducement Plan, which were granted in July 2026. Each RSU granted under the 2026 Inducement Plan will represent a right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock when the RSU vests. RSUs will generally vest over three to four years.

PRSUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted a total of 1,100,055 PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $27.9 million as part of its annual grant of equity incentive awards to certain executives and in connection with the appointment of Amit Mathradas as its new Chief Executive Officer.
For the 802,752 market-based PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $21.8 million granted to Mr. Mathradas, the amount that may be earned pursuant to the market-based PRSUs ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“RTSR”) performance as compared to the companies in the S&P Software and Services Select Index during the performance period. The 2026-2028 performance period contains two overlapping measurement periods— a two-year period and a three-year period. 60% of the total market-based PRSUs may be earned and settled in shares following the end of the two-year measurement period and 40% of the total market-based PRSUs may be earned and settled in shares following the end of the three-year measurement period, in each case based on RTSR performance and subject to continued employment through the payment date; provided that upon a qualifying termination of employment that occurs between January 1, 2027 and December 31, 2027, up to 33% of the maximum number of PRSUs may be earned and settled in shares following such qualifying termination, based on RTSR performance during the period consisting of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. If the Company’s absolute total shareholder return for any measurement period is negative, then no more than 100% of the target amount of market-based PRSUs for such period may be earned. If an executive's employment with the Company terminates before the end of the final measurement period due to death or disability, 100% (if due to death) or 50% (if due to disability) of the unvested market-based PRSUs may be earned subject to ultimate RTSR performance in each remaining measurement period. Upon a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company, the unvested market-based PRSUs subject to the 2026-2028 performance period will vest on a double-trigger basis (i) at the target level for the uncompleted portions of the measurement periods and (ii) at the actual level of performance measured through the date of the change in control of the Company, based on the price per share paid in such change in control.
For the 297,303 PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $6.1 million granted as part of the Company’s annual grant of equity incentive awards to certain executives, the amount that may be earned pursuant to the PRSUs ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number based on the achievement of the following performance metrics (the
“Performance Metrics”) during the performance period: (i) the Company’s Subscription Revenue Growth Rate (“CAGR”), which is weighted 70%, and (ii) the Company’s RTSR performance as compared to the companies in the S&P Software and Services Select Index, which is weighted 30%. The 2026-2028 performance period contains two overlapping measurement periods—a two-year period and a three-year period. 60% of the total PRSUs may be earned and settled in shares following the end of the two-year measurement period and 40% of the total PRSUs may be earned and settled in shares following the end of the three-year measurement period, in each case based on the achievement of the Performance Metrics and subject to continued employment through the payment date. If the Company’s absolute total shareholder return for any measurement period is negative, then no more than 100% of the target amount of market-based PRSUs that vest based on the Company’s RTSR for such period may be earned. If an executive's employment with the Company terminates before the end of the final measurement period due to death or disability, 100% (if due to death) or 50% (if due to disability) of the unvested PRSUs may be earned subject to actual achievement of the Performance Metrics in each remaining measurement period. Upon a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company, the unvested PRSUs subject to the 2026-2028 performance period will vest on a double-trigger basis (i) at the target level for the uncompleted portions of the measurement periods and (ii) for the completed portions of the measurement periods, (A) at the actual level of performance for the RTSR metric measured through the date of the change in control of the Company, based on the price per share paid in such change in control, and (B) at the greater of target or actual level of performance, if measurable, for the CAGR metric measured through the date of the change in control.
The fair value of PRSUs subject to performance conditions, is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of PRSUs subject to market conditions are determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized net of actual forfeitures over the service period, which is generally the vesting period.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company certified the performance results for the final measurement period for the market-based PRSUs subject to the 2023-2025 performance period. The Company determined that its actual total shareholder return for such measurement period was (51.28)%, and that its relative total shareholder return ranking was in the 10.0 percentile relative to companies in the S&P Software & Services Select Index as of January 1, 2023, which resulted in a payout percentage of 0.0% of target. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company also certified the performance results for the second measurement period for the market-based PRSUs subject to the 2024-2026 performance period. The Company determined that its actual total shareholder return for such measurement period was (78.31)%, and that its relative total shareholder return ranking was in the 1.0 percentile relative to companies in the S&P Software & Services Select Index as of January 1, 2024, which resulted in a payout percentage of 0.0% of target. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company also certified the performance results for the first measurement period for the market-based PRSUs subject to the 2025-2027 performance period. The Company determined that its actual total shareholder return for such measurement period was (51.28)%, and that its relative total shareholder return ranking was in the 9.0 percentile relative to companies in the S&P Software & Services Select Index as of January 1, 2025, which resulted in a payout percentage of 0.0% of target.
