(18) Share Repurchases

On November 18, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization to buy back up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “Authorization”). Under the Authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be commenced or suspended at any time at our discretion without prior notice. The Authorization continues in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors. Share repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the Authorization were $2.3 million or 76,447 shares in 2025, $1.8 million or 58,099 shares in 2024 and $2.3 million or 80,352 shares in 2023. As of September 27, 2025, there was $17.1 million remaining available for future share repurchases under this Authorization.
