) Share Repurchases
 
On
November
 
18,
2008,
our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization to buy back up to
$25.0
 million of our outstanding common stock (the “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. We are
not
obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock and
may
commence or suspend the program at any time at our discretion without prior notice. The Authorization continues in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors. As of
September 30, 2017,
there was
$24.8
million remaining available for future share repurchases under the Authorization. There were
no
share repurchases during
2017,
2016
and
2015.
