Share Repurchase Program

2.SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) which became effective on May 1, 2014, under which the Company has the authorization to repurchase up to 1.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock over a period not to exceed twelve months. 

 

Our Board of Directors has authorized an extension of the Company’s share repurchase program for an additional twelve month period beginning May 1, 2015 and ending April 30, 2016, subject, for the entire period as extended, to the 1.8 million share aggregate limit established in the initial authorization. 

 

Share repurchases under this program are made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18 using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and block trades, or any combination of such methods, in compliance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. With the exception of repurchases made during stock trading black-out periods under a 10b5-1 Plan, the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchase are determined at the Company’s discretion. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified by the Company at any time and for any reason.  The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares.

 

During the three month period ended March 29, 2015, the Company repurchased 78,401 shares under this program, for a total cost of $298. From the inception of the share repurchase program on May 1, 2014 through April 29, 2015, the Company has repurchased 388,122 shares for an aggregate cost of $1,387.
