ITEM 5 MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ASLE”.
Holders of Record of our Common Stock
As of February 26, 2024, there were 7,518 holders of record of our common stock. This number of holders of record does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of our common stock because shares of common stock are frequently held in “street name” by securities dealers and others for the benefit of individual owners who have the right to vote their shares.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, statutory requirements, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Currently, our Revolving Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends. Accordingly, we are prohibited from declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock without amending or modifying the terms of our credit facility.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer or Affiliated Purchasers
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not purchase any of our outstanding shares of common stock.
