The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. From the inception of the stock repurchase program through March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 5,685,511 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $ 40.4 million, including commissions and fees, for a weighted average price of $ 7.10 per share.
