Shareholders' Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' Equity | SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new common stock repurchase program of up to $300.0 million. The new program replaced the prior $250.0 million program that was authorized in April 2017 and had unused authorization of $78.3 million. The new authorized amount includes and is not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 282,416 shares of our common stock under the October 2018 stock repurchase program at an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million, based on trade date. We had approximately $243.0 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program at March 31, 2019, based on trade date. As of March 31, 2019, we accrued $1.0 million for cash settlement for repurchases of our common stock compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 79,233 shares of our common stock related to employee vestings of stock-based compensation at a total cost of $7.6 million. On November 29, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a $500.0 million share repurchase program in a "modified Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the Big Fish Transaction. The Company completed the Tender Offer on February 12, 2018, and repurchased 5,660,376 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $88.33 per share with an aggregate cost of $500.0 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer.
