11.  Treasury Stock Transactions

 

On August 5, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase shares of the Common Stock constituting, in the aggregate, up to an amount not to exceed $25.0 million. This new purchase program replaces the Company’s prior existing program to repurchase shares of the Common Stock, which was terminated in connection with the approval of the new program. The program is designed to provide the Company with enhanced flexibility over the long term to optimize its capital structure. Shares of the Common Stock may be repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions. The program may be terminated or suspended at any time at the discretion of the Company. The Company may enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to effect a portion of the authorized purchases, if criteria set forth in the plan are met. Such a plan would enable the Company to repurchase its shares during periods outside of its normal trading windows, when the Company typically would not be active in the market. The time of purchases and the exact number of shares to be purchased will depend on market conditions. The repurchase program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The Company intends to finance any purchases using available working capital and capacity from the Company’s revolving line of credit.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $21.4 million available for future treasury stock purchases.
