The plan is reflective of our strong capital position and is consistent with our goals of increasing both returns and liquidity for our shareholder base.”\n\nRepurchases are expected to commence on or after February 18, 2025. Shares may be repurchased in open market or private transactions and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.\n\nThe timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance.

Any repurchased shares will be returned to the Company’s authorized but unissued shares.
