On August 18, 2021, Wabash National Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its board of directors approved the Company’s regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock. The dividend declared is payable on October 28, 2021, to stockholders of record on October 7, 2021.

On August 19, 2021, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $150 million of its common stock through August 2024, representing approximately 20 percent of the Company’s current market capitalization. This is an increase to the existing repurchase program approved in November 2018, of which less than $1 million was available as of August 19, 2021. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or in private transactions at times and in amounts determined by the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, may limit or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time based on market conditions, liquidity needs, or other factors.
