Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock Repurchase Program In February 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to five million shares of the Company’s common stock through February 20, 2013 (the “2012 Program”) which was subsequently extended through February 20, 2021. In July 2016, the Company acquired and subsequently retired 935,231 shares of J2 Global common stock in connection with the acquisition of Integrated Global Concepts, Inc. As a result of the purchase of J2 Global common stock, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reduction in the number of shares available for purchase under the 2012 Program by the same amount. In November 2018 and May 2019, the Company entered into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans with a broker to facilitate the repurchase program. 600,000 shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program in 2018 at an aggregate cost of $42.5 million and were subsequently retired in March 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 197,870 shares at an aggregate cost of $16.0 million which were subsequently retired in the same year. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,140,819 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $87.5 million, which were subsequently retired in the same year. As of December 31, 2020, all the available shares were repurchased under the 2012 Program at an aggregate cost of $204.6 million (including an immaterial amount of commission fees). On August 6, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to ten million shares of our common stock through August 6, 2025 (the “2020 Program”) in addition to the five million shares repurchased under the 2012 Program. The Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and during the three month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased no shares under this program. Cumulatively at March 31, 2021, 2,490,599 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $177.8 million (including an immaterial amount of commission fees) under the 2020 Program, which were subsequently retired. Periodically, participants in J2 Global’s stock plans surrender to the Company shares of J2 Global stock to pay the exercise price or to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock. During the three month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased 108,287 shares from plan participants for this purpose. Dividends No dividends were declared in during fiscal year 2021 and 2020. Future dividends are subject to Board approval. Based on the significant number of current investment opportunities within the Company’s portfolio of businesses and the historic returns from prior investments, the Board of Directors suspended dividend payments for the foreseeable future.
