Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $200 million share repurchase program (the “New Repurchase Program”) effective October 27, 2025. Under the New Repurchase Program, the Company will be authorized to repurchase issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $200 million, exclusive of any excise tax impact. Repurchases under the New Repurchase Program may be made through a variety of methods, which could include open market purchases, which may or may not be pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase plans, or any combination of such methods. The timing and amount of shares repurchased will depend on the stock price, business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities, and other factors. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific amount of shares of common stock. The New Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time without prior notice.
In connection with the Board’s approval of the New Repurchase Program, the Board determined to discontinue the Company’s existing repurchase program, which was approved by the Board on November 30, 2020 and authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million in shares of its common stock (the “Prior Repurchase Program”). Accordingly, effective as of the close of business on October 24, 2025, no additional shares of common stock will be repurchased under the Prior Repurchase Program, and beginning on October 27, 2025, any and all repurchases will be made pursuant to the New Repurchase Program.
