At December 31, 2024, there were 14,000 unvested shares of restricted stock awards outstanding. We have the authority to issue 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series. As of December 31, 2024, 2,300,000 shares of preferred stock have been issued. In November 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number of shares the Company is permitted to repurchase under our share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is now permitted to repurchase up to a maximum of 15,000,000 shares, including those previously authorized but not yet repurchased. There were no shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. As of December 31, 2024, there were 7,396,263 remaining shares available for repurchase under the Company’s authorized share repurchase program.
