Item 8.01    Other Events.
On November 18, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of outstanding shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, pursuant to a new share repurchase program (the “November 2024 Authorization”). Under the November 2024 Authorization, the Company may repurchase shares through open market trades, block trades and/or privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be at management’s discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices and other considerations. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company will launch the November 2024 Authorization in November 2024, and purchases will occur over the next 12 months. The Company expects to fund the repurchases with cash on hand.
