(20) Share Repurchases


On November 18, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization to buy back up to $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “New Authorization”). Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may commence or suspend the program at any time at its discretion without prior notice. The New Authorization continues in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors. As of September 27, 2014, there was $24.8 million remaining available for future share repurchases under this authorization. There were no share repurchases during 2014, 2013 and 2012.
