Dividend and Share Repurchase Authorization

The Company also announced in the Press Release that on May 1, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.92 per share on the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). The dividend will be paid on May 29, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 19, 2026.

In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million in shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock over a three-year period commencing on May 12, 2026. This replaces the $50 million repurchase authorization announced on March 11, 2025, of which approximately $16 million remains. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the discretion of management, depending on market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Common Stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.

The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company, if any, is not guaranteed. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or periodically without prior notice.
