The Company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable December 16, 2025 to holders of record on December 1, 2025. The Board also authorized a stock repurchase program to buy up to $25 million of Class A common stock effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027.

These actions directly return cash to holders and provide management flexibility to reduce share count. Key dependencies include available capital and management discretion; the program explicitly may be modified or suspended and does not obligate purchases. Watch share repurchase pacing against the 2026–2027 window and actual cash outlays relative to stated authorizations for a clearer view of capital allocation through that period.
