Stockholders' Equity: |
Stockholders' Equity: | 10. Stockholders’ Equity: On October 17, 2011, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) increased the authorization to repurchase our common stock by 10.0 million shares to 41.0 million shares. Under this authorization, we have cumulatively repurchased a total of 34.4 million shares at a total cost of $831.8 million through January 1, 2013. During fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, we repurchased 3.2 million, 6.0 million and 2.1 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $101.4 million, $172.1 million and $52.1 million, respectively. Repurchased common stock is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require us to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. On November 1, 2011, our Board approved the adoption of a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 (“10b5-1 Plan”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), which was effective from December 5, 2011 through July 3, 2012. This 10b5-1 Plan terminated on July 3, 2012, in accordance with its terms. On May 30, 2012, our Board approved the adoption of a new 10b5-1 Plan effective from July 5, 2012 through December 31, 2012. On November 6, 2012, our Board approved the adoption of an additional 10b5-1 Plan effective from December 6, 2012 through July 3, 2013. On March 1, 2012, our Board approved the terms of a share repurchase plan (“10b-18 Plan”) under which we were authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Act, effective from March 6, 2012 through March 9, 2012. This 10b-18 Plan terminated on March 9, 2012, in accordance with its terms. The timing and number of shares repurchased pursuant to the share repurchase authorization are subject to a number of factors, including legal constraints and financial covenants under our Facility that limit share repurchases based on a defined leverage ratio. (See Note 7 for further discussion of our long-term debt.) Shares may be repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices considered appropriate by us. Purchases in the open market are made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Act. We make the determination to repurchase shares based on several factors, including an evaluation of current and future capital needs associated with new restaurant development, current and forecasted cash flows, including dividend payments, a review of our capital structure and cost of capital, our share price and current market conditions. Our objectives with regard to share repurchases are to offset the dilution to our shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants and to supplement our earnings per share growth. Prior to fiscal 2012, we had not declared any cash dividends. On July 23, 2012, our Board approved the initiation of a cash dividend to our stockholders which is subject to quarterly Board approval. A cash dividend of $0.12 per common share was declared during both the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012 totaling $12.9 million.
