Stock Repurchase Program
Stock Repurchase Program	(10) Stockholders’ Equity On May 22, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock.  This stock repurchase program has no expiration date and replaced a previous stock repurchase program which was approved on February 16, 2012.  All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase program have been made through open market transactions.  The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined by management under parameters established by our Board of Directors, based on an evaluation of our stock price, market conditions and other corporate considerations. For the years ended December 29, 2015, December 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we paid approximately $11.4 million, $42.7 million and $12.8 million to repurchase 321,789,  1,675,000 and 461,600 shares of our common stock, respectively. On November 26, 2014, we issued 40,699 shares of our common stock in exchange for the remaining ownership interests in a franchise restaurant in which we previously owned 5%.
