ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Neither the Company nor any “affiliated purchaser” repurchased any shares of Company common stock during the three-month period ended March 29, 2024. On July 16, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of March 29, 2024, approximately 20 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Program. There is no expiration date for the Repurchase Program, and the timing and amount of any future shares repurchased under the program will be determined by members of the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans (or any successor plans) and for other corporate purposes. The Company expects to fund any future stock repurchases using the Company’s available cash balances or proceeds from the issuance of debt.
