(1) On March 7, 2018, the Company announced a share repurchase program, whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate of $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the "Prior Repurchase
Program"). No repurchases were made under the Prior Repurchase Program and it was set to expire on April 30, 2022. On, and effective as of, March 3, 2022, the Board authorized an extension and expansion of the Prior Repurchase Program by $100 million, for a total amount of up to $400 million, exclusive of fees, commissions or other expenses, under which the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock from time-to-time (the "Updated Repurchase Program"). The Updated Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. The timing and number of repurchase transactions under the Updated Repurchase Program depends on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, corporate considerations, business opportunities, debt agreements, and regulatory requirements. The Updated Repurchase Program can be suspended or discontinued at any time.
