Under what conditions can The Standardx's common stock repurchase program be suspended or discontinued?

According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's common stock repurchase program can be suspended or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase program does not obligate The Standardx to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The decision to suspend or discontinue the program is entirely at The Standardx's discretion. The program also does not have an expiration date.

This means that even though The Standardx has authorized repurchases of its common stock, there is no guarantee that these repurchases will actually occur. The company can halt the program based on its own assessment of market conditions, applicable laws, or other factors it deems relevant.

For a potential franchisee, this information is relevant only in understanding the overall financial management and capital allocation strategies of The Standardx. The stock repurchase program is more pertinent to investors and shareholders than to the operations or financial obligations of franchisees.
