Shares Repurchased and Dividends

17. Shares Repurchased and Dividends

On October 25, 2022, the Company announced that it would be raising its quarterly dividend to $0.31 per share of Common Stock and to $0.248 per share of Class B Common Stock, up from $0.30 and $0.24 per share, respectively. The amount and timing of any dividend payment is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors each quarter.

On October 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $100.0 million of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, inclusive of the amount which remained available under the existing share repurchase program approved on January 2, 2019. Repurchases made under the program, if any, will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and market conditions, the Company stock price, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program has been funded to date with the Company’s available cash and will be funded in the future using the Company's available cash or capacity under its Credit Agreement and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 25, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2022, the Company repurchased 52,500 and 75,250 shares for an average price per share of $190.37 and $167.54, respectively, under the share repurchase program. As of February 25, 2023, the Company had $63.6 million remaining to repurchase under the share repurchase program.
