In March 2022, the company
announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of the company’s outstanding common
stock. The extent to which the company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of
factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors. The repurchase program
may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common
stock.
