Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ under the symbol "FDS".

Holders of Record – As of October 20, 2023, we had approximately 2,093 holders of record of our common stock. However, because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.

Dividends - We paid four quarterly dividends during fiscal 2023. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we increased our quarterly cash dividend from $0.89 cents per share to $0.98 cents per share. Future dividend payments will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors we consider relevant, and is subject to final determination by our Board of Directors. Refer to Note 14, Stockholders' Equity, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our dividends.
