10.        STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN


In April 2008, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock under the plan initiated in 1998 (“amended 2008 plan”).  On February 4, 2019, the Board of Directors replaced the amended 2008 plan with a new plan which authorized us to repurchase up to 800,000 of outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and to utilize any derivative or similar instrument to effect share repurchase transactions (including without limitation, accelerated share repurchase contracts, equity forward transactions, equity swap transactions, floor transactions or other similar transactions or any combination of the foregoing transactions). The Company received approval for the new plan from its primary lender, which removed certain restrictions on share repurchases outlined in the fourth amendment and added other restrictions outlined in the ninth amendment to the Company’s Loan Agreement (see Note 8 to the financial statements).  


During fiscal year 2019, and prior to February 4, 2019, we purchased 16,805 shares at an average price of $11.31 per share totaling approximately $190,100 under the amended 2008 stock repurchase plan. Between February 4 and February 28, 2019, we purchased 8,366 shares at an average price of $7.93 per share totaling approximately $66,400 under the new 2019 stock repurchase plan.
