Intrepid Potash (IPI) announced the appointment of Jason Tremblay as CFO, effective June 15. Tremblay joins Intrepid from Mosaic (MOS), where he most recently served as VP, enterprise strategy and business support.

Intrepid Potash announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the amount authorized for repurchasing shares of the Company's common stock under the Company's existing share repurchase program. The Board expanded the authorized amount to $50M, an increase from the $35M the program originally authorized in February 2022, which has approximately $13M remaining. The decision to increase the amount for share repurchases reflects the Board's ongoing review of Intrepid's capital allocation strategy, as well as the Company's improving operating performance and strengthened balance sheet. In addition to the increased amount allocated to share repurchases, and the Company's continued investment in our core assets, including high-return projects to improve operating efficiencies, reduce costs, and extend mine life, the Board and management are evaluating a range of possible capital allocation initiatives, including: Organic growth initiatives closely aligned with the Company's core operations; Inorganic opportunities that complement Intrepid's core business; and additional potential returns of capital to shareholders while maintaining substantial liquidity and a strong balance sheet
