Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information about the Company's purchases of equity securities that are registered by the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act for the periods indicated:

(1) Shares purchased during the period outside of the publicly announced repurchase program were transferred to the Company from employees in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards during the period.

(2) On September 12, 2025, the Company announced it had adopted a common stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $300 million of its shares of common stock. There is no expiration date for the share repurchase program. Pursuant to the stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased through open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC. Any open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18. The timing and price of repurchases as well as the actual number of shares repurchased under the program will be at the discretion of the Company and will depend on a variety of factors, including general market conditions, the stock price, regulatory requirements and limitations, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, and other factors. The Company may, in the sole discretion of the BOD, terminate the repurchase program at any time while it is in effect.
