Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders’ Equity
In August 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Ruud Lighting, the Company issued 6.1 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $211.0 million. The shares issued in connection with the acquisition were subject to certain transfer restrictions under the Stock Purchase Agreement that lapsed with respect to 25% of the shares held at the completion of each of the following four successive six-month periods, such that all restrictions had lapsed by the second anniversary of the closing.
On May 6, 2014, the Board of Directors (the Board) approved an increase in the amount of the Company’s stock repurchase program. Pursuant to the program, the Company is now authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock having an aggregate purchase price not exceeding $300 million for all purchases from June 20, 2013 through the new expiration of the program on June 28, 2015.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock under the program at an average price of $47.11 per share with an aggregate value of $99.6 million. After the repurchase, $200.4 million in aggregate purchase price value remained available under the Company’s stock repurchase program. The repurchase program can be implemented through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of the Company’s management. The Company will continue to determine the time and extent of any repurchases based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Since the inception of the predecessor stock repurchase program in January 2001, the Company has repurchased 12.4 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $24.57 per share with an aggregate value of $305.1 million.
On May 29, 2002, the Board adopted a shareholder rights plan, pursuant to which stock purchase rights were distributed to shareholders at a rate of one right with respect to each share of common stock held of record as of June 10, 2002. Subsequently issued shares of common stock also carry stock purchase rights under the plan. The rights plan is designed to enhance the Board’s ability to prevent an acquirer from depriving shareholders of the long-term value of their investment and to protect shareholders against attempts to acquire the Company by means of unfair or abusive takeover tactics. Unless terminated by the Board, the rights become exercisable based upon certain limited conditions related to acquisitions of stock, tender offers and certain business combinations involving the Company. The shareholder rights plan includes a review mechanism requiring the independent members of the Board to review and evaluate the plan at least every three years to consider whether the maintenance of the plan continues to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and to communicate their conclusion to the Board. The Board has delegated this responsibility to the Governance and Nominations Committee, which is composed of all independent directors of the Board. On April 24, 2012, the shareholder rights plan was amended and restated to, among other things, extend the expiration date from June 10, 2012 to September 30, 2018, and to remove provisions in the rights plan stipulating that certain actions can be taken only with the concurrence of a majority of the members of the Board who are not affiliated with an acquiring person (more specifically, those who are “Continuing Directors,” as defined in the original rights plan adopted in 2002). On January 29, 2013, the shareholder rights plan was amended solely to change the expiration date from September 30, 2018 to April 24, 2017.
