Part II
As of April 11, 2025, there were 39 holders of record of the Company’s class A common stock and 348 holders of record of the Company’s common stock (including nominee holders such as banks and brokerage firms who hold shares for beneficial owners), although the Company believes that the number of beneficial owners is much higher. The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MOV” and on April 11, 2025, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $13.56. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of class A common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Each holder of class A common stock is entitled to convert, at any time, any and all such shares into the same number of shares of common stock. Each share of class A common stock is converted automatically into common stock in the event that the beneficial or record ownership of such shares of class A common stock is transferred to any person, except to certain family members or affiliated persons deemed “permitted transferees” pursuant to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation as amended. There is currently no established public trading market for the class A common stock.
During each quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company declared cash dividends on its common stock and class A common stock. Although the Company currently expects to continue to declare cash dividends in the future, the decision as to whether to declare any future cash dividend, including the amount of any such dividend and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be determined, in each quarter, by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. For dividends declared and paid during fiscal 2025, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."
On November 23, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 23, 2024, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. On December 5, 2024, the Board approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding stock through December 5, 2027, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. These repurchases may be made through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 120,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $2.6 million, or an average of $21.90 per share.
At the election of an employee, upon the vesting of a stock award or the exercise of a stock option, shares of common stock having an aggregate value on the vesting of the award or the exercise date of the option, as the case may be, equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company by netting them from the vested shares issued. Similarly, shares having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of an option may be tendered to the Company in payment of the option exercise price and netted from the shares of common stock issued upon the option exercise. An aggregate of 42,388 shares were repurchased during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, as a result of the surrender of shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards or stock options.
