While the company itself will not receive proceeds from this sale, it plans to concurrently repurchase at least $30 million of shares from the underwriters, partially offsetting the market impact.

The offering price of $28.04 per share, which is above the current market price of $26.80, indicates institutional confidence in the valuation of the offering.
