Item 8.01 Other Matters.

 

On September 18, 2025, the Novanta Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares. As of September 18, 2025, $31.0 million remained available for repurchase under the Company's 2020 Board share repurchase authorization, for a total available capacity of $231.0 million. Shares may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time at the Company’s discretion, subject to market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other considerations. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated share purchase agreement, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common shares to be repurchased when we would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares. No time limit is set for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing and amount of any transactions will be at the Company’s discretion, subject to the market price of the stock, general market and economic conditions, cash availability, applicable legal requirements, cash return expectations, and other growth investment opportunities.
