Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On August 9, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan. Under the plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock during the period beginning today and ending twelve (12) months thereafter. This plan replaces the May 2, 2019 plan, as amended, which authorized the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares. 92,549 shares had been repurchased under the May 2, 2019 plan as of August 9, 2024. No further shares will be repurchased under that plan.
 
The new stock repurchase plan allows the Company to purchase common stock from time to time through, among other ways, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to applicable securities laws and other legal requirements and relevant factors. The number of shares purchased and the timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s stock and general market conditions. The stock repurchase plan may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time, without prior notice. Shares repurchased may be reissued later in connection with employee benefit plans and other general corporate purposes.
