Stock Repurchases
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized a repurchase program to purchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The manner, timing, number and share price of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend upon such factors as the market price of the stock, general market conditions, applicable securities laws, alternative investment opportunities and other factors. The Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining authorized amount under the Repurchase Program was approximately $345 million.
Stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program commenced on November 9, 2021. The following tables summarize the shares repurchased and subsequently retired and the related consideration paid during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Dividends
In February 2025, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.10 per share for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The dividend was paid on April 9, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 12, 2025. The timing, declaration, amount and payment of future dividends to stockholders, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ decisions regarding the payment of future dividends will depend on many factors, including the Company’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements and debt facility covenants, other contractual restrictions, as well as legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, market volatility and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
