Share Repurchase Program
During May 2012, our Board approved an increase to the share repurchase program authorizing us to purchase an additional $3 million of our common stock up to a total of $8 million. The repurchases are executed in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, normal trading restrictions and other relevant factors. During 2012, we repurchased 686,208 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $4.5 million and an average cost per share of $6.60No repurchases were made in the first quarter of 2013. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock. Since the beginning of this program, we have spent $5.3 million buying back our common stock under this plan.
Cash Dividends
Our Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share, totaling $452,000, which was paid on March 1, 2013 to record holders of our common stock as of February 13, 2013. We have a dividend reinvestment program so that stockholders may elect to reinvest their dividends into additional shares of our common stock.
