Under the new program, the Registrant may purchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock from time to time in open-market and privately-negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases and the number of shares repurchased will be dependent on a variety of factors, including stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements and market and business conditions.
