Total consideration of $11.0 million has been spent on the endeavour to date, with the company indicating that much of the shares were repurchased during market weakness in December.

“We accelerated our repurchase program in December 2021 to take advantage of pricing pressure caused by end of year tax selling and other technical conditions. We continue to maintain flexibility and take an opportunistic approach to our stock repurchase program,” said CEO Jon Sandelman on the purchases.
