Share Repurchase Program

 

In March 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved a $15.0 million increase to the Company’s share repurchase program. This authorization was in addition to the repurchase authorization of up to $10.0 million to expire March 31, 2025 that was previously approved in January 2023. In March 2025, the board of directors of the Company approved the extension of the expiration date of the existing share repurchase program, from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026. As of January 31, 2025, the Company has $15.1 million available for repurchase under its share repurchase program.

 

The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in the open market, by block purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, in one or more transactions from time to time, or pursuant to any trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and other applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by the board of directors without notice at any time for any reason, including, without limitation, market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, capital and liquidity objectives, and other factors deemed appropriate by the Company's management.

 

The following table summarizes the shares repurchased, total cost of shares repurchased and average price per share for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. All repurchases were at market value.
