Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “PLCE”. Mithaq Capital SPC, a Cayman segregated portfolio company (“Mithaq”) currently holds 61% of our outstanding shares of common stock and is a controlling stockholder of the Company. On April 6, 2026, the number of holders of record of our common stock was 35. The majority of holders of our common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held by banks, brokers, and other financial institutions.
In November 2021, our Board authorized a $250.0 million share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, we may repurchase shares on the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions. We may suspend or discontinue the program at any time and may thereafter reinstitute purchases, all without prior announcement. Currently, given the terms of our credit agreement, dated May 9, 2019, by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries, with Wells Fargo, National Association as the sole lender party thereto, and our term loan agreement with SLR Credit Solutions (“SLR”) and other affiliated SLR entities as the lenders party thereto, our the repurchase of any shares would require fulfilling stringent payment conditions under those agreements, except that repurchases of shares as described in “Note 8. Debt” of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K, pursuant to our practice as a result of our insider trading policy, are expressly permitted. As of January 31, 2026, there was $156.1 million remaining availability under the Share Repurchase Program.
Pursuant to our practice, including due to restrictions imposed by our insider trading policy during black-out periods, we withhold and repurchase shares of vesting stock awards and make payments to taxing authorities as required by law to satisfy the withholding tax requirements of all equity award recipients. Our payment of the withholding taxes in exchange for the surrendered shares constitutes a repurchase of our common stock. We also acquire shares of our common stock in conjunction with liabilities owed under our deferred compensation plan, which are held in treasury.
