The newly authorized program replaced the prior share repurchase program authorized in May 2022 of up to $50.0 million of common stock repurchases, pursuant to which $8.3 million of the capacity remained prior to the replacement of the program. Under our share repurchase programs, t he Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of its common stock for $33.1 million at an average price per share of $22.20 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 through open market transactions.

Rights Agreement As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $142.6 million and $128.5 million, respectively, representing an 11.0% increase. The vast majority of these tax assets are subject to potential limitation under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, and approximately $84.1 million are Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits. On November 12, 2025, the Company, with the unanimous approval of its Board of Directors, entered into that certain Rights Agreement for the Protection of NOLs and Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits (the New Rights Agreement). The New Rights Agreement will replace the existing rights agreement upon its expiration, effective as of the close of business on November 14, 2025.

At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 2026 Annual Meeting), the Company intends to seek stockholder ratification of the New Rights Agreement, as well as approval of a charter amendment that would prohibit certain transfers of our common stock that could result in an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code rules. Subject to stockholder ratification at the 2026 Annual Meeting, the New Rights Agreement will expire upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the Company’s taxable year when the Company’s Board of Directors determines that no Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits carry-forwards are available, or (ii) any other event triggering expiration under its terms, but in no event later than November 14, 2028.
