Purchases Of Common Stock [Abstract]

NOTE 4 – PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK

Our purchases of common stock during the first two quarters of fiscal 2023 were comprised of open-market purchases and shares withheld on stock-based compensation awards (Note 6). Our stock-based compensation plans allow shares to be withheld to cover statutory income taxes if so elected by the award recipient. These shares are valued at the market price on the date the shares are withheld. Shares purchased during the first two quarters of fiscal 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Common Shares		Cost
Open market purchases		79	$	3,830
Shares withheld for taxes on stock-
based compensation awards		18		835
		97	$	4,665

On February 14, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The previously existing common stock repurchase plan was canceled and the new common share repurchase plan does not have an expiration date. The actual timing, number, and value of common shares repurchased under our board-approved plan will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of common shares, and applicable legal requirements. We have no obligation to repurchase any common shares under the authorization, and the repurchase plan may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time for any reason.
