On July 29, 2021, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved increasing the size of its stock repurchase program by $350 million, bringing the amount available for future repurchases of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to approximately $387 million. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as the Company considers appropriate.

The Company may limit, suspend, or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice. Any shares repurchased under the program will be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock.
