Share Repurchase Program [Abstract] |
Share Repurchase Program | O. Share Repurchase Program On December 17, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program (the Repurchase Program) under which we may repurchase up to $25 million of our outstanding stock. The purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Repurchase Program is being funded from cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities. The Repurchase Program will expire as of the close of business on December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had purchased 670,181 shares at cost of $21.3 million under the Repurchase Program. The average purchase price per share through September 30, 2015 has been $31.72.
