Dividend

On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of $0.12 per common share payable on March 2, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 20, 2026. This dividend represents an increase of $0.065 per share from the dividend paid in the first quarter of 2025 and a $0.035 per share decrease from the dividend paid in the prior quarter. The dividend paid in the prior quarter consisted of a regular dividend of $0.055 per share and a special fourth quarter dividend of $0.10 per share. Commencing with this quarter’s dividend, the Company intends to pay a regular, consistent quarterly dividend and does not anticipate the payment of fourth quarter special dividends, which was the Company's practice as a private company, however future dividends are not guaranteed and subject to board approval.

A copy of the Company's press release announcing this dividend is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Approval of a New Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company to repurchase of up to $50 million of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “2026 Repurchase Plan”). This 2026 Repurchase Plan authorization replaces and supersedes the Company’s prior authorizations.

The 2026 Repurchase Plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specified number of shares of its common stock. The 2026 Repurchase Plan will be made from time to time by the Company as conditions allow. The shares may be purchased in the open market or negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions or pursuant to one or more trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The number, price, and timing of the repurchases, if any, will be at the Company’s sole discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, liquidity needs and other factors and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase any shares under the 2026 Repurchase Authorization.
