In 2023 and late December 2022, the Company repurchased 0.4 million and 0.1 million common shares, respectively, in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $20.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, all of which settled in 2023 at an aggregate weighted-average price of $53.76 per share. The foregoing information regarding share repurchases is adjusted to reflect the one-for-four reverse split of the Company’s common shares in August 2024. As part of the reverse stock split in August 2024, 1.2 million treasury shares with a cost basis of $64.0 million were cancelled resulting in a corresponding decrease in additional paid in capital, outstanding shares and par value.
