Share Repurchase Program

In November 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $250.0 million share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, the Company may repurchase shares on the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time and may thereafter reinstitute purchases, all without prior announcement. Currently, given the terms of the Company’s Credit Agreement as amended by its Seventh Amendment described above, the Company is not expecting to repurchase any shares in Fiscal 2024, except as described below, pursuant to our practice as a result of our insider trading policy. As of May 4, 2024, there was $156.9 million remaining availability under the Share Repurchase Program.

Pursuant to the Company’s practice, including due to restrictions imposed by the Company’s insider trading policy during black-out periods, the Company withholds and repurchases shares of vesting stock awards and makes payments to taxing authorities as required by law to satisfy the withholding tax requirements of all equity award recipients. The Company’s payment of the withholding taxes in exchange for the surrendered shares constitutes a repurchase of its common stock. The Company also acquires shares of its common stock in conjunction with liabilities owed under the Company’s deferred compensation plan, which are held in treasury.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share repurchases:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended

Share repurchases related to:
Share repurchase program	43	$	320	155	$	6,088
Shares acquired and held in treasury	4	$	48	1	$	74

In accordance with the FASB ASC 505—Equity, the par value of the shares retired is charged against Common stock and the remaining purchase price is allocated between Additional paid-in capital and Accumulated deficit. The portion charged against Additional paid-in capital is determined using a pro-rata allocation based on total shares outstanding. For all shares retired in the First Quarter 2023, $2.9 million was charged to Accumulated deficit. There were no amounts charged to Accumulated deficit in the First Quarter 2024.

Dividends

Future declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, the Company’s financial performance, and other investment priorities. Currently, given the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended by the Seventh Amendment as described above, the Company is not expecting to pay any cash dividends in Fiscal 2024.
