Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K should be carefully considered, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC, in connection with evaluating the Company, our business, and the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K. Other risks that we do not presently know about or that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us.

(a) The number of shares purchased and average price paid per share includes 19, 5,370, and 210 shares withheld from vested stock awards to satisfy employees’ minimum statutory tax withholding requirements for the period of June 27, 2021 - July 24, 2021, July 25, 2021 - August 21, 2021, and August 22, 2021 - September 25, 2021, respectively.

We expect to implement the balance of the share repurchase program through purchases made from time to time either in the open market or through private transactions, in accordance with regulations of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The timing and amount of any common stock repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions.

Any additional share repurchase programs will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, financial condition, and capital needs of the Company, along with any other factors which the Board of Directors deem relevant. The program may be limited, temporarily paused, or terminated at any time, without prior notice.
