Shareholders' Equity

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Warrant

BJ’s Act III, LLC’s (“Act III”) warrant for 876,949 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $26.94 was set to expire on May 4, 2025, five years following the issuance. On December 30, 2024, the Company agreed to extend the termination date of the warrant by two years to May 4, 2027. The warrant extension was executed in conjunction with a Cooperation Agreement that contains material non-shareholder restrictions, such as those limiting Act III's ability to purchase additional Company shares.

Stock Repurchases

During the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2025, we repurchased and retired approximately 404,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $34.94 per share for approximately $14.1 million, which is recorded as a reduction in common stock, with any excess charged to retained earnings. Our Board of Directors approved a $50 million increase in our share repurchase program both in February 2024 and February 2025. As of April 1, 2025, we had $71.8 million available under our authorized $600 million share repurchase program. Repurchases may be made at any time.

Cash Dividends

We currently do not pay any cash dividends. Any payment of quarterly cash dividends will be subject to our Board of Directors determining that the payment of dividends is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
