 although fully utilized to the full value approved, will enhance long-term stockholder value. Repurchases could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and could have a negative impact on our available cash balance.

In May 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year stock repurchase program for up to $75 million of our common stock. This program was completed in September 2024. Stock repurchases could have an impact on our common stock trading prices, increase the volatility of the price of our common stock, or reduce our available cash balance such that we will be required to seek financing to support our operations. There is no guarantee that the repurchase program, even though fully utilized, will enhance long-term stockholder value.

Our use of artificial intelligence involves risks such as potential liability, regulatory issues, competition, and reputational damage. 

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies create specific risks that require tailored governance and review. Insufficient oversight could lead to legal liability, financial loss, and reputational harm. We use AI to sort, organize, analyze, and generate data for business purposes. AI encompasses machine learning, generative AI, and other data processing techniques. The utilization of AI, whether implemented directly by us or in collaboration with third parties, will necessitate ongoing investment in governance and security resources to help ensure our responsible use of AI and to safeguard against potential risks and vulnerabilities. As these technologies evolve, some services and tasks currently performed by our associates may be replaced by automation, including AI-enabled solutions, which could lead to reduced demand for our services and/or reduce the required headcount for us to provide services. The use of AI carries considerable risks, and we cannot guarantee the achievement of intended outcomes. While we aim to develop and use AI responsibly and attempt to identify and mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. As an evolving technology, AI may occasionally produce incomplete or misleading results. Despite training and risk management efforts, there is a possibility that employees might misuse AI, either intentionally or unintentionally. Should our AI generate suboptimal or contentious outcomes, or if public perception of AI shifts negatively due to perceived risks, we may encounter operational challenges, competitive disadvantages, legal liabilities, reputational harm, or other business impacts. AI-related legal and regulatory frameworks are evolving due to concerns about bias, discrimination, transparency, and security. The use of AI technologies involves issues associated with intellectual property, data privacy, consumer protection, competition, and equal opportunity, with
