Common Stock Repurchases:
9. Common Stock Repurchases:

In July 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock up to an amount sufficient to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares under the Stock Incentive Plans and Non-Qualified Plan. The share repurchase program allows the Company to make open market purchases from time-to-time based on general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock for approximately $127.8 million, including 18,282 shares withheld to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations of $1.1 million in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The repurchase program was also expanded to allow for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares, if any, related to the Company’s acquisition program.
