As of December 31, 2024, no shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Completed Repurchase Program.  On July 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new repurchase program (the “New Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  There is no expiration date for the New Repurchase Program, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the program will be determined by members of the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.  The New Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans (or any successor plans) and for other corporate purposes.
