Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 16, 2024, the Board of Directors of Blackbaud, Inc. (the “Company”) reauthorized, expanded and replenished the Company’s existing stock repurchase program. The expansion raised the total capacity under the Company's stock repurchase program from $500 million to $800 million available for repurchases. The program does not have an expiration date.

Since January 1, 2024 and prior to the replenishment on July 16, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,954,211 shares of its stock for $262.6 million under the stock repurchase program, representing approximately 5.5% of the Company's common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023. As of July 16, 2024, the remaining amount available to purchase stock under the Company's repurchase program was $800 million.

Repurchases by the Company will be subject to available liquidity, general market and economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors. Stock repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in private transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations and other legal requirements, including compliance with the Company’s finance agreements. There is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. All shares purchased will be held in the Company’s treasury for possible future use. The Company anticipates funding any stock repurchases from its cash flow from operations.

On July 18, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the reauthorization, expansion and replenishment of its stock repurchase program. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
