The Company is authorized to repurchase such shares of common stock at prevailing market prices in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws.

The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management in its discretion. There is no expiration date for the repurchase plan. This authorization supplements the Board’s existing stock repurchase program approved in May 2023, which authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company’s common stock as well as the additional $250 million the Board approved in May 2025, of which approximately $63 million remained at June 30, 2026.
