Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, an independent broker will make purchases of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) on the open market on behalf of the Company (including block purchases as permitted under Rule 10b-18(b)(4)) in accordance with purchase guidelines specified in the 10b5-1 Plan. The 10b5-1 Plan was established pursuant to the stock repurchase program approved by the Board on September 18, 2018.

The 10b5-1 Plan shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the Company’s purchasing the maximum number of Shares under the 10b5-1 Plan; and (ii) March 15, 2019. The Company reserves the right to terminate the 10b5-1 Plan in the event that the Company commences a tender offer for the Shares in accordance with Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act.
