Repurchases of the Company’s common stock may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. This share repurchase authorization does not obligate Brooks to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.
