Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the impact of these repurchases on the company's total outstanding share count and earnings per share.
- Review the company's cash position to ensure liquidity remains sufficient for ongoing operations post-repurchase.
- Check subsequent filings to determine if the repurchase plan was completed or extended beyond May 7, 2021.
