Pursuant to the authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and alternative uses for cash. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
