On November 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing and conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations, and other factors. Any shares of common stock repurchased will be held as treasury shares.
The Company may repurchase its shares in open market transactions from time to time or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with federal securities laws, at the Company's discretion. The repurchase program, which has no expiration date, may be increased, suspended, or terminated at any time. The program is expected to be implemented over the course of several years and is conducted subject to the covenants in the agreements governing the Company's indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,274,440 shares of Common Stock for an aggregated price of approximately $21.1 million (excluding the excise tax discussed above).
