On April 22, 2025, the Board authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock.

The newly-authorized program is intended primarily to facilitate purchases of Company stock as a means to provide cash returns to stockholders, enhance stockholder returns, and manage the Company’s capital structure. Under its stock repurchase programs, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, shares of its outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases by the Company are subject to market conditions and other factors and may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
The full text of the press release announcing the Board’s authorization of the stock repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
