SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM |
NOTE | 10: SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In January 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors reaffirmed its authorization for the repurchase by the Company of 1,966,700 shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In July 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased 138,200 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $16.92 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $2,338. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased 172,480 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $16.58 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $2,859. During the first nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 442,938 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $16.23 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $7,189. During the first nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 1,239,222 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $19.09 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $23,652. As of September 30, 2013, 2,041,214 shares of common stock remained available for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase program. The repurchases of common stock are accounted for as treasury stock, and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company accounts for the reissuance in accordance with FASB ASC No. 505-30, “Treasury Stock” and charges the excess of the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method to retained earnings. The purchase cost is calculated based on the specific identified method. In the case where the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method is lower than the issuance price, the Company credits the difference to additional paid-in capital.
