Dividends Declared

On May 2, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.65 per share, payable on July 6, 2023, to shareholders of record as of June 14, 2023.

At the Market ("ATM") Program

Under the Parent Company's ATM equity offering program, the Parent Company could have sold up to $350.4 million of common stock available for issuance. No sales occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the program expired on March 12, 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company has a common share repurchase program under which it may purchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250 million of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases, and/or in privately negotiated transactions (referred to as the "Repurchase Program"). The timing and price of share repurchases, if any will be dependent upon market conditions and other factors. The shares repurchased, if not retired, would be treated as treasury shares. The authorization for this repurchase program will expire on February 7, 2025, unless modified or earlier terminated by the Board.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed multiple trades to repurchase 349,519 common shares under the Repurchase Program for a total of $20.0 million at a weighted average price of $57.22 per share. All repurchased shares were retired on the respective settlement dates. At March 31, 2023, $230.0 million remained available under the Repurchase Program.
