The program’s repurchases is expected to commence on October 15, 2021 and continue until September 30, 2022.

The Company’s board of directors authorized repurchase program as a means of opportunistically returning capital to shareholders. Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion and at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. The actual number of common stock to be purchased, the timing of purchases and the price at which the shares are purchased will depend on future market conditions and on potential alternative uses for the Company’s cash resources. Additionally, the repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.

“The announcement of this repurchase program demonstrates our belief in Profire and a commitment to return value to our shareholders,” said Ryan Oviatt, the Company’s Co-CEO. “We believe that the current share price is not an accurate reflection of our Company and its value. This announcement further reflects our confidence in the Company's business operations and outlook, as well as our commitment to generating long-term value for our shareholders."
