The Company may repurchase its common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by the Company’s Board at any time in its sole discretion.

Issuance of Common Stock for Employee Compensation

On February 22, 2022, the Company granted 25,594 restricted stock awards to certain employees pursuant to the 2015 Performance and Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The restricted shares will vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third annual anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued

employment through and on the applicable vesting date. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $46.73.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $55.73.

Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is typically recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not have expense related to restricted stock awards.
