Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On November 10, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, the details of which are set forth in Item 8.01 below. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The forgoing information is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and will not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 9, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $50 million of the Company's Class A common stock. Subject to applicable rules and regulations, the shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions 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. Such purchases will be at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, prevailing stock prices, legal requirements and other business considerations. The authorization expires on November 24, 2023, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.

Share repurchases will be funded from available cash and equivalents, working capital or cash flows from operations. As reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 2, 2022(1), the Company has cash and equivalents of $122 million, $200 million of available capacity on its $200 million revolving credit facility and $97 million of available capacity on its $150 million securitization facility. The securitization facility carried no short-term borrowings and $53 million of standby letters of credit related to workers' compensation. The share repurchase program complements our existing capital allocation strategy while enabling continued investments for long-term growth.
