TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS
 
On
June 2, 2020,
the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain stockholders of the Company, whereby the Company purchased an aggregate of
1,858,139
shares of the Company's common stock for a negotiated purchase price of
$1.20
per share or
$2.2
million in total. The negotiated price of
$1.20
per share was less than the lowest trading price of the stock on the day of the repurchase. The consideration paid by the Company consisted entirely of an unsecured subordinated promissory note for
$2.2
million. The note accrues interest at an annual rate of
9.0%,
compounded annually, payable quarterly in arrears commencing on
September 1, 2020
and continuing on each
December 1,
March 1,
June 1
and
September 1
thereafter, and initially had a maturity date of
August 10, 2023
.
On
September 25, 2020,
the Company repaid the subordinated promissory note in the amount of
$2.2
million.
 
The shares repurchased on
June 2, 2020
were
not
purchased under a stock repurchase plan. The Company did
not
repurchase any shares in the comparable prior year period.
 
On
January 13, 2021,
the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock constituting, in the aggregate, up to an amount
not
to exceed
$7.5
million, consistent with the maximum limitation set forth by the Company's revolving line of credit. The program is designed to provide the Company with enhanced flexibility over the long term to optimize its capital structure. Shares of the common stock
may
be repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions. The program
may
be terminated or suspended at any time at the discretion of the Company.
