The 2025 Stockholder Return Program consists of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The amount available under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us. On November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2025.
