Repurchase Program
On April 14, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $500 million. Share repurchases are made from time to time on the open market as conditions warrant. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our shares. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we repurchased 1,505,299 shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $250 million and 165,900 shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25 million. At December 31, 2015, there were approximately $225 million in remaining funds authorized under this program.
