The Repurchase Program is intended to be conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10b-18”). Purchases under the Repurchase Program may be made, if in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in compliance with Rule 10b-18. However, the Company has no obligation to repurchase shares and the timing, actual number, and value of shares to be repurchased is subject to management’s discretion and will depend on the Company’s stock price and other market conditions. The Company may, in the sole discretion of the Board, suspend or terminate the Repurchase Program at any time while it is in effect.
The information in this Current Report set forth under this Item 8.01, including exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be treated as “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly stated by specific reference in such filing.
