8. Stockholders’ Equity

On November 10, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock through December 31, 2007 on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices determined by the President of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors has subsequently authorized annual extensions of this stock repurchase program. On May 11, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 shares of its common stock through March 31, 2013 under the previously approved stock repurchase program of the Company. On May 14, 2012, the Company repurchased 2,774,250 shares of common stock owned by Capital Southwest Venture Corporation at an aggregate purchase price of $66,638,000, based on a price of $24.02 per share. Appropriate consents to the repurchase were also obtained from lenders under the Company’s previous Financing Agreement. The repurchase authorization had 1,225,750 shares remaining as of December 31, 2012. The repurchase in the second quarter represented approximately 11.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company as of the purchase date and was the only repurchase in 2012. The Company repurchased 10,124 shares of its stock in 2011. Other than the Company’s repurchase of 2,774,250 shares of common stock owned by Capital Southwest Venture Corporation on May 14, 2012, all shares purchased under the program were purchased on the open market by the Company’s broker pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan announced on November 28, 2007. The Company did not repurchase any of its stock in the fourth quarter of 2012 or 2011.
