As previously reported, on December 5, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Program”). Under the Program, the Company may repurchase up to $30 million of its common stock during a period of two years. The Program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

On February 15, 2022, the Board adopted a written stock repurchase plan (the “February 2022 Plan”) under the Program and in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to be in effect through April 29, 2022. On April 28, 2022, having exhausted the maximum amount of funds authorized by the February 2022 Plan, the Board adopted a new written stock repurchase plan (the “April 2022 Plan”) under the Program, authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional $5 million of its common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified by Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18. The April 2022 Plan will commence in May and be in effect through November 2, 2022. Repurchases may include open market purchases and block trades. The plan will be administered by Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and the Company intends to use available cash to fund the repurchases. There can be no assurance as to the exact number, or aggregate value, of shares of common stock that may be repurchased by the Company under the April 2022 Plan.
