On March 3, 2022 the Board of Directors of Rackspace Technology, Inc. authorized the company to repurchase up to $75 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. The authorization is effective immediately and will expire on September 30, 2023. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The program will be executed opportunistically and consistent with the Company’s capital allocation priorities, which will continue to prioritize investments to grow the business.

Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion through a variety of methods, such as open-market transactions (including pre-set trading plans), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The program can be discontinued at any time.
