Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. 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. However, we currently do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends.

Stock Repurchase Programs

Our Board of Directors has approved various authorizations under our stock repurchase program to repurchase shares 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 $1,200,000 on July 27, 2022, to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase programs (collectively, the stock repurchase program).

Our stock repurchase program does 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 this program, so long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios. As of March 31, 2023, no defaults have occurred under our credit agreements.
