Share repurchases, if any, will be made in the open market at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. The Company intends to effect any such share repurchases in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18 or pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and applicable legal requirements.
