STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On February 1, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). As of March 30, 2024, $200 million remained under the Share Repurchase Program.

As part of the Share Repurchase Program, on February 27, 2024, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase $100 million of YETI’s common stock. Pursuant to the ASR Agreement, we made a payment of $100 million to Goldman Sachs and received an initial delivery of 1,998,501 shares of YETI’s common stock (the “Initial Shares”), representing 80% of the total shares that we expected to receive under the ASR Agreement based on the market price of $40.03 per share at the time of delivery of the Initial Shares. The ASR Agreement was accounted for as an equity transaction. The fair value of the Initial Shares were recorded as a treasury stock transaction. The remaining $20.0 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Upon delivery of the Initial Shares, there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share.

On April 25, 2024, we settled the transactions contemplated by the ASR Agreement, resulting in a final delivery of 642,674 shares, with a fair value of $23.6 million. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR Agreement was 2,641,175 at an average cost per share of $37.86, based on the volume-weighted average share price of YETI’s common stock during the calculation period of the ASR Agreement.
