The renewed share buyback program is valid through to April 7, 2023.

As per the audited financials filed last Friday, the company spent $13.4 million repurchasing those shares in 2021. The company was eligible to repurchase up to 9.7% of the public float under that initial buyback program, or 18.2 million shares.

Notably, 4.2 million shares repurchased subsequent to December 31, 2021 are said to have been bought for a total figure of $8.0 million as per the firms financials. The company meanwhile reported a cash position of $9.2 million as of the period end.
