Capital Stock Market Prices and Dividend Policy
Our capital stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ROG”. As of the end of business on February 23, 2024, we had 251 shareholders of record. The actual number of holders of our capital stock is greater than this number of record holders, and includes shareholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers or held by other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not include shareholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.
We currently retain all of our earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business, to repurchase or redeem capital stock, and in the repayment of our debt. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and may not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Whether or not dividends will be paid in the future will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, cash requirements, covenants in our financings, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors and our shareholders may deem relevant.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total return on our capital stock over the past five fiscal years with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor’s Industrials Index (S&P Industrials) and the S&P Small Cap 600 Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components Index.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In 2015, we initiated a share repurchase program (the Program) of up to $100.0 million of our capital stock to mitigate the dilutive effects of stock options exercises and vesting of restricted stock units that we granted, in addition to enhancing shareholder value. The Program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. There were no share repurchases in 2023 or 2021. In 2022, we made $25.0 million of share repurchases. As of December 31, 2023,

$24.0 million remained available to purchase under the Program. For additional information regarding share repurchases, refer to “Note 12 – Capital Stock and Equity Compensation” to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
