Why It Matters

• For investors, this signals management views share repurchases as a useful use of capital and could provide support to the stock or reduce share count if executed.
• The program is limited in size and duration, so its impact will depend on actual purchases (which are not guaranteed).
• Retail investors should note the plan’s start/expiration dates, dollar and share caps, and that the company retains the right to change or stop the plan.
