Treasury Stock

The Company has a program to repurchase its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (the “share repurchase program”). The share repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated at any time at the Board of Directors’ discretion.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $33.5 million available for repurchases of its common stock under the share repurchase program. In February 2024, the Board of Directors reauthorized the share repurchase program and increased the total amount available for purchases of the Company’s common stock under the program to $125.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 478,315 shares for an aggregate cost of $56.1 million, including 211,692 shares for an aggregate cost of $25.5 million under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which allows for stock repurchases during closed trading windows. The Company had $74.9 million remaining under its share repurchase program as of September 30, 2024. Subsequent to September 30, 2024 through October 31, 2024, the Company settled repurchases of 62,544 shares for an aggregate cost of $6.5 million.
