, we filed a shelf registration with the SEC. The shelf registration statement provides increased flexibility and more efficient access to raise capital from time to time through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depository shares, warrants, purchase contracts, subscription rights, units or a combination thereof, subject to market conditions. Specific terms and prices are determined at the time of any offering under a separate prospectus supplement that we are required to file with the SEC at the time of the specific offering.

On July 23, 2025, we closed a public offering of 18,653,000 shares of our Class A common stock, at a price to the public of $18.50 per share, which includes 2,433,000 shares of our Class A common stock granted pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts. The net proceeds of $327.4 million from this public offering helped offset the one-time, realized after-tax loss of $625.6 million (based on an actual tax rate of 21.946%) incurred during the third quarter of 2025 from selling AFS securities discussed in the Investments and Securities section above.

Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (“2022 Program”) under which we could repurchase up to $175.0 million of our Class A common stock currently issued and outstanding. Because the 2022 Program was set to terminate on January 31, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program in January 2024 (“2024 Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $175.0 million of our Class A common stock currently issued and outstanding. The 2024 Program, which replaced the 2022 Program, will be executed in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and will terminate on January 31, 2026 (unless terminated sooner).

Under the 2024 Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, pricing, and amount of any repurchases under the 2024 Program will be determined by management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, trading volume and market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, our working capital and investment requirements, general market and economic conditions, and
