 on our capital stock in the near future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by our credit agreement. Consequently, stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

Share repurchases could affect our stock price and increase its volatility and will diminish our cash reserves.

In March 2022, we announced a program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which was increased by an additional $50.0 million in September 2023 and an additional $50.0 million in March 2025. Such repurchases may be made from time to time subject to pre-determined price and volume guidelines. As of July 31, 2025, we repurchased 26,352,768 shares for $163.3 million. Repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase its volatility and will reduce the market liquidity for our stock. These activities may have the effect of maintaining the market price of our common stock or slow down a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. Additionally, these repurchases will diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions and result in lower overall returns on our cash balances.

Delaware law and provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.

Our status as a Delaware corporation may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including the following:

•a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our Board of Directors;

•a prohibition on cumulative voting in the election of our directors;

•the requirement that our directors may only be removed for cause;

68

•the ability of our Board of Directors to issue
