Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares repurchased under the terminated program prior to November 3, 2025.
- Monitor future filings for the actual execution of repurchases under the new 8 million share authorization.
- Review the company's cash position in subsequent quarterly reports to assess the capacity to fund the new repurchase program.
