Market Information
Our common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ARLO”.
Holders of Record
On February 25, 2025, there were nine stockholders of record, one of which was Cede & Co., a nominee for Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). All of the shares of our common stock held by brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions as nominees for beneficial owners are deposited into participant accounts at DTC and are therefore considered to be held of record by Cede & Co. as one stockholder. The number of record holders is based upon the actual number of holders registered on our books at such date and does not include holders of shares held by brokers in “street names” or persons, partnerships, associations, corporations or other entities identified in security position listings maintained by depository trust companies, and we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.
Dividend Policy
We have not historically declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

_________________________
(1) On September 24, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to an aggregate of $50 million of shares of Arlo’s common stock. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and other investment opportunities, and shares may be repurchased through open market purchases, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The stock repurchase program is expected to continue through December 31, 2026 unless extended or shortened by our Board of Directors.
(2) Average price paid per share includes commission costs, but excludes the 1% excise tax accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Commission costs associated with share repurchases and excise taxes do not reduce the remaining authorized amount under our repurchase programs.
