Share Repurchase Program

NOTE 18 - SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2017, the Board approved a share repurchase program that allows for share repurchases in the aggregate up to $100.0 million under approved share repurchase plans pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. In November 2021, the Board amended and increased the previously authorized aggregate repurchase limit from $100.0 million to $200.0 million. The Credit Facility (see Note 10 – Long-Term Debt) permits annual share repurchases of at least $25.0 million provided that the Company is not in default of its covenants, and higher amounts provided that the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, prior to and after giving effect to such repurchases, is 0.50 to 1.00 less than the then-applicable maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and subject to the Company having net liquidity of at least $100.0 million after giving effect to such repurchases.

Purchases under this program may be made from time to time at prevailing market prices in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The purchases are funded from existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and the repurchased shares are held in treasury. The timing and extent to which the Company repurchases its shares will depend on market conditions and other corporate considerations in the Company’s sole discretion.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company used $18.1 million to repurchase 180,000 shares at an average price of $100.70 per share and $17.0 million to repurchase 176,375 shares at an average price of $96.18 per share, respectively, under this program. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $93.7 million of authority remained available under the share repurchase plan.
