The Company has two classes of common stock: Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, is freely transferable, and is entitled to a cash dividend equal to 125% of any cash dividend paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes and can be converted to Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. However, until converted to Common Stock, shares of Class B Common Stock are not freely transferable. During fiscal 2025, 39,030 shares of Class B Common Stock were converted to Common Stock. No such conversions occurred during fiscal 2026 and 2024.
On October 24, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase 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 October 18, 2021.

Repurchases from time to time under the new program, if any, will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
