Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 9, 2026 (the “Authorization Date”), the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which up to an aggregate of $600 million (exclusive of fees, commissions or other expenses) of the Company’s outstanding common stock may be repurchased. The share repurchase program, which is effective as of the Authorization Date, replaces and cancels the prior $500 million authorization announced in June 2025, of which approximately $127.6 million remained available as of the Authorization Date.
Shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities law, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans or accelerated share repurchase programs. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility. Shares purchased under the program will be retired. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
