Material Changes
- New Repurchase Program: The Board of Directors authorized a new plan to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock.
- Share Impact: The authorized amount represents approximately 3.4% of the Company's total shares of common stock outstanding.

- Flexibility: The plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice.
- Execution Criteria: Timing and amounts will be determined by management based on stock price, market conditions, and corporate considerations, including compliance with Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements.
- Risks: The Company explicitly states it cannot assure the exact number of shares to be repurchased before the expiration date.
Investor Verification Checklist
