Why It Matters
A board‑authorized repurchase program gives the company flexibility to buy back shares as market and capital conditions allow. Repurchases can lower the number of outstanding shares, which may support per‑share metrics (like earnings per share) and is a way to return capital to shareholders. Investors should note the program size ($20 million) and the expiration date (Jan 8, 2028); the filing does not specify timing, pace, or methods of purchases.
