- Repurchases may occur in the open market, under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or through other legally permissible means.
- The program has no expiration date, does not require the company to repurchase any specified number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated without prior notice.
- Repurchase activity will depend on market conditions and other factors and is expected to be funded through existing cash balances and future cash flow.
- The filing announces a conference call to discuss the fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year results, but it does not provide management guidance, outlook figures, contingencies, or risk commentary.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify fiscal 2024 fourth-quarter and full-year revenue, profitability, cash flow, margins, ARR, and guidance in Exhibit 99.1 or the related earnings materials.
- Verify the company’s cash balance, debt, liquidity, and expected funding capacity for the $500 million repurchase authorization.
- Review Exhibit 99.2 for total ARR expansion trends and other operating indicators.
- Confirm the amount and timing of any actual repurchases, since the authorization does not require the company to buy shares.
- Consider that Items 2.02 and the related exhibits were furnished rather than filed for purposes of Section 18 liability, except where expressly incorporated by reference.
