ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

Attached and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release of the Company dated May 22, 2025 announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company’s stock repurchase program to increase the shares authorized and remaining as available to purchase back up to 1,000,000 shares by authorizing the Company to acquire up to 402,413 additional shares of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s existing stock repurchase program had previously authorized the repurchase of up to 11,355,551 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Through May 16, 2025, the Company repurchased 10,757,964 shares of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate price of $437,561,463 (exclusive of excise tax). This extension of the stock repurchase program will “top off” the plan and permit the Company to repurchase up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of its currently outstanding common stock beyond what had already been purchased as of May 16, 2025.

The share repurchases will be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion in the open market or privately negotiated transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The Company expects that the share repurchases will be financed with available cash. The Company’s Board of Directors may modify, suspend, extend, or terminate the program at any time.
