The Company had no repurchases of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in the quarter ended March 30, 2024. On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors renewed the initial authorization of its share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) such that the Company is authorized, commencing at that time, to repurchase from time to time up to an aggregate of $450.0 million of its common stock with such authority expiring on July 26, 2025.

Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time and may be conducted through privately negotiated transactions, including with our significant stockholders, as well as through open market repurchases or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and the level of operating, financing and other investing activities.

As of March 30, 2024, $400.0 million remained available under the current authorization for additional share repurchases. The Company did not make purchases of its common stock under the Share Repurchase Program for the three months ended March 30, 2024.
