Why It Matters
A larger, extended buyback program can reduce share count over time and signal that management believes the stock is a good use of capital. For investors, the change clarifies how much additional capital LiveRamp has authorized for repurchases ($200M) and the new available capacity ($337M). The announcement does not guarantee any specific purchases or timing; actual repurchases will depend on market conditions and Board/management decisions.
