Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 26, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $75 million of its common stock. This stock repurchase program replaces and supersedes the stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on October 30, 2018, which had authorized the Company to repurchase up to 2,200,000 shares of its common stock. Under the new stock repurchase program, shares of common stock may be repurchased by the Company from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted under applicable rules and regulations. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend on market conditions and other considerations as may be considered in the Company's sole discretion. The stock repurchase program, which has no stated expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. An earnings release announcing the stock repurchase program was issued and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and the disclosures under the headings "Stock Repurchase Program" and "Forward-Looking Statements" are incorporated by reference herein.
