This program authorizes the company to repurchase in the aggregate up to 2,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. In May 2022, July 2024 and May 2025, the company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 2,500,000, 2,500,000 and 7,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock under the current program, respectively. As of April 4, 2026, the total number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program is 15,000,000 shares. As of April 4, 2026, 10,530,345 shares had been purchased under the stock repurchase program and 4,469,655 shares remained authorized for repurchase.\n\nThe company also treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share grants as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares are not considered common stock repurchases under the authorized common stock repurchase plan and accordingly are not included in the common stock repurchase totals in the preceding table."}
