Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Maximus, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an increase to the Company's existing stock purchase program. The increased stock purchase program authorizes the Company to purchase up to an aggregate amount of $200 million of the Company’s common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”).
The Company intends to purchase shares opportunistically at prevailing market prices in the open market, via 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of purchases depending on market conditions, corporate needs, and other factors.
This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock, has no specified expiration date, and may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
The Company issued a press release announcing the increase to the existing stock purchase program. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
