Following the completion of the program, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock over the next 24 months. Repurchases under the new program may be made at the Company’s discretion in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or through other means, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
