- Confirm the total number of shares outstanding post-transaction to assess the dilution/accretion impact of the 362,094 shares retired.
- Review the Press Release (Exhibit 99.1) for any additional context on the rationale for the buyback program.
- Monitor future filings for updates on the remaining $10.9 million availability and the execution of further repurchases.
