Share Repurchase Program

NOTE 16 – 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 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 unlimited 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.

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 140,200 shares at an average price of $98.55 per share between January 1, 2022 and February 2, 2022. The repurchase plan was completed in the first quarter of 2022 with a total of 165,000 shares repurchased from December 20, 2021 to February 2, 2022 for a total of $16.3 million. The Company also used $3.1 million to repurchase an additional 36,175 shares in the open market during the first quarter of 2022 at an average price of $87.00 per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used $17.0 million to repurchase 176,375 shares and $12.8 million to repurchase 151,200 shares, respectively, under the repurchase program. As of March 31, 2022, $111.9 million remained available for share repurchases under the repurchase program.
