Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.00001 par value, without any further action by the stockholders. The board of directors has the authority to divide any and all shares of preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, such as the designation of series and the number of shares constituting such series, dividend rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation and dissolution preferences, conversion or exchange rights and voting rights, if any. Issuance of preferred stock by the board of directors could result in such shares having dividend and or liquidation preferences senior to the rights of the holders of common stock and could dilute the voting rights of the holders of common stock.

 

No shares of preferred stock were outstanding during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

 

Share Buyback Program

 

In December 2022, the Board of Directors extended the Company’s share buyback program through December 31, 2024. Under the program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $5,000 of its outstanding common shares.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2022, 259,310 shares were repurchased for $998. There were no shares repurchased during the year ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, all repurchased shares were retired.
