TREASURY STOCK

On October 24, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that enabled the Company to repurchase up to twenty-five million shares of its common stock (2017 Share Repurchase Program). Through March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased all of the authorized 25,000,000 shares for $694.1 million in the open market under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. The Company repurchased 1,209,153 shares for $33.6 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. At March 31, 2024, there were no shares of common stock that remained available to be purchased under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program.

On May 3, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase program that enables the Company to repurchase up to twenty-five million shares of its common stock (2022 Share Repurchase Program). The 2022 Share Repurchase Program became effective when the 2017 Share Repurchase Program was completed. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific amount of common stock within any particular timeframe as a result of the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. The Company repurchased 614,516 shares for $16.4 million under this share repurchase program during

the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, 24,385,484 shares of common stock remained available to be purchased under the current program.

On May 9, 2022, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with Mizuho Markets Americas LLC (Mizuho) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) (collectively, the Dealers) to repurchase an aggregate of $150 million of the Company's common stock via accelerated stock repurchase transactions under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. Under the terms of the ASR, the Company made a $75 million payment to each of the Dealers on May 10, 2022, and received an initial delivery of 1,627,907 shares from each of the Dealers, or 3,255,814 shares in the aggregate, which was approximately 70 percent of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock expected to be repurchased under the ASR agreements. These shares reduced the number of shares of the Company's common stock available for repurchase under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. Final settlement of the ASR agreements was completed in November 2022. As a result, the Company received an additional 651,213 shares from Mizuho and 642,302 shares from Wells Fargo, or 1,293,515 shares in the aggregate, for $47.9 million, which reduced the number of shares of the Company's common stock available to be repurchased under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. In total, 4,549,329 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased under the ASR agreements at an average cost per share of $32.97 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

In connection with the vesting and release of the restriction on shares of restricted stock, the Company repurchased 653,645 shares for $19.4 million, 562,360 shares for $19.4 million and 546,053 shares for $15.7 million related to minimum statutory tax withholding requirements on these restricted stock units during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These repurchase transactions do not fall under the repurchase program described above, and therefore do not reduce the amount that is available for repurchase under those programs.
