NOTE 13 – TREASURY STOCK

On August 29, 2017, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. The Company may purchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. This authorization expires on August 29, 2020, and replaced a prior share repurchase program approved by the Board on March 31, 2016 under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time and under which approximately $5.5 million had been repurchased. During the six months ended July 31, 2018, under the new share repurchase program, the Company repurchased a total of 52,400 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $2.1 million, or an average of $39.25 per share. During the six months ended July 31, 2017, under the previous share repurchase program, the Company repurchased a total of 71,507 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $1.7 million or an average cost of $23.15 per share, which included 20,000 shares repurchased from the Movado Group Foundation at a total cost of approximately $0.5 million or an average of $22.90 per share.

There were 17,979 and 32,045 shares of common stock repurchased during the six months ended July 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain stock awards. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company to fund the payment of such taxes.
