Ranalli, President and CEO, emphasized the program’s importance. “Enhancing shareholder value is a priority for the Board of Directors and this stock repurchase program demonstrates that commitment. The Company is well capitalized, and profitability is consistently growing our capital base month after month. We are excited for this opportunity to increase shareholder value through this program.”

D.A. Davidson has been chosen as the managing broker for the repurchase program.
