Share Repurchase Program

On April 27, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of our common stock may be repurchased periodically, including in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at any time. On April 25, 2024, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the Share Repurchase Program upon expiry of the current authorization on April 27, 2024, for an additional twenty-four-month period. Through March 31, 2024, the Company had repurchased 833,346 common shares at an average price of $12.11 per share for an aggregate of $10.1 million.  In connection with the extension, the Board of Directors replenished the amount of shares authorized for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program, resulting in available capacity of $50.0 million. The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by us at our discretion.
