Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 20, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program relating to the repurchase of up to $50 million of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Any stock repurchases made pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program may be made through open-market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5‑1 trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, the Company may repurchase its shares regardless of any subsequent possession of material nonpublic information. The Company intends to utilize the Stock Repurchase Program to limit future dilution from the issuance of shares under its employee stock plans, but the timing and actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. The repurchase transactions are expected to be funded by cash on
hand, cash generated by operations and the proceeds of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Stock Repurchase Program replaces the authorization approved in April 2015. The full text of the Company's announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
