 6, 2024, the Board authorized an extension and a $125.0 million increase in the size of our Repurchase Program. Under the Repurchase Program, as amended, we may repurchase up to an aggregate of $375.0 million of shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, with any previous purchases under the Repurchase Program continuing to count against that limit. The Repurchase Program will expire on November 6, 2027.

Under the Repurchase Program, share repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, including through trading plans that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in privately negotiated transactions, or through other means. The timing and number of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program will depend on a variety of factors, including the performance of our stock price, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, the availability of funds, and other considerations we deem relevant. The Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Our Board will review the Repurchase Program periodically and may authorize adjustments of its terms.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, 14.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock were repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program at an average price of $6.31 per share, for an aggregate value, excluding fees, of $93.5 million. The repurchased shares included 4 million shares of Class A Common Stock repurchased from certain affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. at a price of $6.34 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.4 million.

The remaining value of shares of Class A Common Stock permitted to be repurchased under the Repurchase Program was $169.9 million as of December 31, 2024.
