This authorization expires on September 30, 2017. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 157,499 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $3.9 million, or an average of $24.54 per share, which included 35,000 shares repurchased from the Movado Group Foundation at a total cost of approximately $1.0 million, or an average of $29.03 per share.
