Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 7, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may repurchase from time to time, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, up to an aggregate purchase price of $10 million during the next 12 months.

Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or other derivative transactions, issue self-tender offers or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, including Rule 10b-18. The timing, value and number of shares repurchased will be determined in the Company's discretion and will be based on various factors, including an evaluation of current and future capital needs, current and forecasted cash flows, the Company's capital structure, cost of capital and prevailing stock prices, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with covenants in our credit facility that may limit share repurchases based on defined leverage ratios. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase a specific number of, or any, shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice at our discretion.
