STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Agreement

On February 14, 2022, we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Invenomic Capital Management LP. (“Invenomic”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we purchased 904,499 shares of our common stock from Invenomic at $4.725 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $4.3 million. The closing price of our common stock on February 14, 2022 was $4.80 per share.

We adopted a Section 382 Tax Benefits Preservation Plan on November 17, 2021 to diminish the risk we could experience an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which could substantially limit or permanently eliminate our ability to utilize its net operating loss carryovers to reduce potential future income tax obligations. Under this plan, a person who acquires, without the approval of our Board of Directors, beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the outstanding common stock could be subject to significant dilution. Following the repurchase, Invenomic’s holdings dropped to below 4.99% of the outstanding common stock.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 23, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to $30.0 million of our common stock for a period of up to twelve months. Any stock repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Additionally, the Board authorized the use of any derivative or similar instrument to effect stock repurchase transactions, including without limitation, accelerated share repurchase contracts, equity forward transactions, equity option transactions, equity swap transactions, cap transactions, collar transactions, naked put options, floor transactions or other similar transactions or any combination of the foregoing transactions. The stock repurchase program was implemented as a method to return value to our stockholders. The timing, pricing and sizes of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock and general market and economic conditions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 281,765 shares of our common stock for $1.5 million at an average cost of $5.43 per share. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 316,047 shares of our common stock for $1.7 million at an average cost of $5.37 per share. As of June 30, 2022, we have $28.3 million available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.
