11. Stock Repurchase Program and Subsequent Event

On March 14, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a stock repurchase program, effective March 16, 2023. Under the program, the Company was initially authorized to repurchase up to $15.0 million of its common stock, including excise tax, through open market and privately negotiated transactions. The Company completed the initial authorization during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on November 15, 2023, the Board approved an amendment to the stock repurchase program to increase the amount authorized under the program from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, effective November 17, 2023. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program will expire on March 16, 2024, but may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Company expects to finance any repurchases from cash generated from operations.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares at an aggregate cost of $14.9 million, excluding excise taxes. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain share repurchases made after December 31, 2022. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the applicable excise tax is being charged to additional paid-in capital in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as part of the cost basis of the shares repurchased, with the corresponding liability for the excise tax payable recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. This liability is partially offset by a 1% credit permitted under the rules for the fair value of shares issued by the Company. For the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company has accrued $0.1 million for the payment of excise taxes.
