Share Repurchase Program

NOTE 18 - SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2017, the Company’s board of directors 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In November 2021, the board amended and increased the limit under the previous authorization of $100.0 million to $200.0 million. The Credit Facility permits share repurchases, provided the Company’s Leverage Ratio, prior to and after giving effect to such repurchases, is not greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

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 and used for general corporate purposes. The timing and extent to which the Company repurchases its shares will depend on market conditions and other corporate considerations at the Company’s sole discretion.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the board approved an updated Rule 10b5-1 plan element of the share repurchase program to repurchase shares starting on January 11, 2021 and ending no later than June 30, 2021.  Under this approved plan, the Company repurchased 173,000 shares at an average price of $85.21 between January 11, 2021 and April 14, 2021 when the plan’s limit was reached. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the board approved an updated Rule 10b5-1 plan element of the share repurchase program to repurchase a maximum of 165,000 shares, or a total of $20.0 million, under the current program starting on December 20, 2021 and ending no later than June 30, 2022.  Under this approved plan, the Company repurchased 24,800 shares between December 20, 2021 and December 31, 2021 at an average price of $100.85 per share.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased a combined 197,800 shares at an average price of $87.17 per share or a total cost of $17.2 million under this program. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $128.8 million remained available under the share repurchase plan.
