Stock Repurchase Program Stock Repurchase Program:
In December 2016, the Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program. The program was established for the purpose of enabling Butler National Corporation (“BNC”) to flexibly repurchase its own shares in consideration of factors such as opportunities for strategic investment, BNC’s financial condition and the price of its common stock as part of improving capital efficiency. In July 2023, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the size of the Company’s common stock repurchase program from $4 million to $9 million. In October 2024, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the size of the Company’s common stock repurchase program from $9 million to $11 million. In June 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the size of the Company’s common stock repurchase program from $11 million to $15 million. In August 2025, the Board of Directors approved the closure of the 2016 stock repurchase program and established a new $5 million 2025 stock repurchase program that is authorized through April 2027.
