DNOW Inc.

On January 24, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $160 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company may from time to time repurchase common stock through various methods, including, but not limited to, open market, privately negotiated transaction, or by other means which comply with applicable state and federal securities laws. The amount and timing of any repurchase will depend on several factors, including share price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. All shares repurchased shall be retired pursuant to the terms of the share repurchase program. Depending on the timing of the retirement and cash settlement of the repurchased shares, the Company could have shares held in treasury stock until retired. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total shares repurchased included 155,313 shares, or $3 million, held in treasury stock and subsequently retired in April 2025. Share repurchases made are subject to a 1% excise tax. The impact of this 1% excise tax was less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
