Stock Repurchase Program. We currently have a stock repurchase program, approved by our Board, authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time-to-time as market and business conditions warrant (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 we repurchased approximately 488,000 shares of our common stock for $27.9 million (weighted-average price of $57.27 per share) and approximately 143,000 shares of our common stock for $6.7 million (weighted-average price of $46.66 per share), respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 we repurchased approximately 1,114,000 shares of our common stock for $65.5 million (weighted-average price of $58.80 per share), and approximately 438,000 shares of our common stock for $20.1 million (weighted-average price of $46.04 per share), respectively, under a SEC Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

As of September 30, 2022, the total remaining number of shares available for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program totaled 2.5 million shares.

Stock Repurchases for Tax Withholdings. In addition to the above-mentioned stock repurchases, during the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, we repurchased and then cancelled approximately 7,000 shares of common stock for $0.4 million and approximately 2,000 shares of common stock for $0.1 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 we repurchased and then cancelled approximately 132,000 shares of common stock for $8.4 million and approximately 115,000 shares of common stock for $5.5 million, respectively, in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted common stock under our stock incentive plans.

Cash Dividends. During the third quarter of 2022, our Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.265 per share of common stock, totaling $8.4 million. During the third quarter of 2021, our Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock, totaling $8.1 million. Dividends declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $25.4 million and $24.5 million, respectively.

Warrants. In 2014, in conjunction with the execution of an amendment to our agreement with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), we issued stock warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) for the right to purchase up to 2.9 million shares of our common stock (the “Stock Warrants”) as an additional incentive for Comcast to convert customer accounts onto our Advanced Convergent Platform (“ACP”) based on various milestones. The Stock Warrants have a ten-year term and an exercise price of $26.68 per warrant.

As of September 30, 2022, 1.0 million Stock Warrants remain issued, none of which were vested. The remaining unvested Stock Warrants will be accounted for as a customer contract cost asset once the performance conditions necessary for vesting are considered probable.
