Item 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
(a) Market Information.
Our common stock trades on the NYSE American under the symbol “BKTI.”
(b) Holders.
On March 1, 2023, there were 517 holders of record of our common stock.
(c) Dividends.
We have historically paid quarterly cash dividends. The declaration and payment of cash dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board’s final determination as to whether to declare and pay dividends is based upon its consideration of our operating results, financial condition and anticipated capital requirements, as well as such other factors it may deem relevant. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
We receive dividends from our wholly owned subsidiary, BK Technologies, Inc., to fund past dividends to our stockholders.
(d) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
On December 17, 2021, the board authorized a share repurchase program which permits the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $5 million of its common shares. The program does not have an expiration date. Any repurchases would be funded using cash on hand and cash from operations. The actual timing, manner and number of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management and the Board of Directors at their discretion, and will depend on several factors, including the market price of the Company’s common shares, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities, and other business considerations in accordance with applicable securities laws and exchange rules. The authorization of the share repurchase program does not require BK Technologies to acquire any particular number of shares and repurchases may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The Company has not purchased shares of our common stock under this program in 2021 and 2022.
