- USEA and its shareholders will benefit from any repurchases made as a result of the Plan when the prices are considered reasonable and in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.
- Stock availability, market conditions, stock trading price, alternative uses of capital, securities laws, and the Company’s financial performance will all affect this decision.
- In this situation, any factor deemed appropriate may be used to suspend, terminate, or modify the Plan, including market conditions, cost of repurchasing shares, availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors.
- The timing of repurchases of shares may also be influenced by these factors. In accordance with the Plan, United Maritime Corp (USEA) is not obligated to purchase any of its shares.
