- Confirm the Company's capital adequacy ratios post-repurchase to ensure the "no impairment" assertion holds true.
- Monitor the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for any additional details on the rationale for the buyback not included in the 8-K summary.
- Check for any future 8-K filings if the program is terminated early or if the authorization amount is increased.
