Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol BW. 

As of February 28, 2025, we had 830 stockholders of record of our common stock.

See Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report for information about our equity compensation plans. In accordance with the provisions of the employee benefit plans, we can acquire shares in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock that require us to withhold shares to satisfy employee statutory income tax withholding obligations. We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. We do not have a general share repurchase program at this time.

We have a history of paying cash dividends and currently expect that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future. Decisions on whether, when and in what amounts to continue making any future dividend distributions will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of our Board of Directors, which reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change or terminate our dividend practices at any time and for any reason without prior notice. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be based upon a number of business, legal and other considerations, including changes in our financial position, capital allocation plans (including a desire to retain or accumulate cash), capital spending plans, stock purchase plans, acquisition strategies, strategic initiatives, debt payment plans (including a desire to maintain or improve credit ratings on our debt securities), debt covenant requirements, pension funding or other benefits payments.
