Investor Relations Specialist

The disclosure confirms timing and aggregate cost of the August repurchases but provides limited context.

The filing identifies the Chief Financial Officer in the repurchase record and ties the purchases to the May 14 board resolution; however, it omits details such as average price per share, remaining authorized amount, and impact on shares outstanding.

If investors need a fuller picture, they should consult other company disclosures for total authorization size and historical buyback activity.
