8. Stockholders' Equity 

On January 16, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock.  The authorization was effective on February 23, 2015 and continues for two years thereafter. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 43,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.6 million. All shares repurchased under this program were retired.  This resulted in a reduction of $0.4 million in paid-in capital, and a reduction of $1.2 million in retained earnings.
