Note 4 – 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 was authorized to repurchase up to 1.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock over a period not to exceed twelve months. The Share Repurchase Program has been extended through June 2, 2016, and the maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased under the program has been increased to 3.4 million shares.

 

 

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 repurchases 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.

 

In 2015, we repurchased a total of 2,258,929 shares of our common stock for an aggregate consideration of $9,388, of which 2,225,437 shares were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program for an aggregate amount of $9,228 (including fees and commissions). In 2014, we repurchased a total of 227,974 shares of our common stock for an aggregate consideration of $762, of which 216,754 shares were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program for an aggregate amount of $722 (including fees and commissions).
