Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. We currently do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends. Our current revolving credit agreements allow us to declare and pay cash dividends, as long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios and no event of default has occurred.

Stock Repurchase Programs

In January 2019, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized us to repurchase $261,000 of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. Our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization of $750,000 during April 2021 to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase program (collectively, the stock repurchase programs).

Our stock repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. Our current revolving credit agreements allow us to make stock repurchases under these programs, so long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios and no event of default has occurred under these agreements. As of March 31, 2022, no defaults have occurred under our credit agreements.
