Shareholders' Equity

Treasury Stock

On May 2, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed for the repurchase of 0.5 million shares of common stock. On November 14, 2016, our Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 0.5 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. This authorization replaces the Board's previous share repurchase authorization from May 2, 2012. Under the share repurchase program, we may repurchase shares from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions and privately negotiated transactions.

Since the inception of the November 14, 2016 authorization, we have repurchased less than 0.1 million shares of common stock for $0.3 million and, as of December 31, 2017, we had authorization to repurchase less than 0.5 million additional shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased less than 0.1 million of treasury shares for less than $0.1 million. During the year ended 2016, the Company purchased less than 0.1 million shares for $0.2 million. The treasury stock held as of December 31, 2017 was acquired at an average price of $41.93 per share. The following is a summary of treasury share activity:

GAAP requires accumulated foreign currency translation balances to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations once the liquidation of the net assets of a foreign entity is substantially complete. As of December 31, 2016, because we have ceased operations in all of our international legal entities other than those associated with Nexsan, we have determined that the liquidations of our international entities associated with our Legacy Businesses are substantially complete. All remaining activities associated with these entities, including the final disposition of remaining balance sheet amounts and formal dissolution of these entities are being managed and controlled by the Company's U.S. corporate function. Accordingly, the Company reclassified into discontinued operations $0.3 million of foreign currency translation losses associated with our Legacy Businesses. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $0.8 million remaining of accumulated foreign currency translation losses in other comprehensive loss for which balances could be reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the future.

Details of amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss and the line item in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:



	Amounts Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss		Affected Line Item in the Statement Where Net Loss is Presented
	(In millions)
Amortization of net actuarial loss	0.3		Selling, general and administrative
Pension settlement loss	1.2		Restructuring and other
Net pension adjustments, net of tax	1.5
Total reclassifications for the period	$	1.5

Income taxes are not provided for foreign translation relating to permanent investments in international subsidiaries. Reclassification adjustments are made to avoid double counting in comprehensive loss items that are also recorded as part of net loss and are presented net of taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

382 Rights Agreement

On August 6, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted a rights plan intended to avoid an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, and thereby preserve the current ability of the Company to utilize certain net operating loss carryforwards and other tax benefits of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Tax Benefits"). If the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of Code, the Company’s ability to fully utilize the Tax Benefits on an annual basis will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the Tax Benefits and such other benefits could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of those assets. The rights plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group acquiring “beneficial ownership” of 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, without the approval of the Board. The description and terms of the Rights (as defined below) applicable to the rights plan are set forth in the 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2015 (the "Rights Agreement"), by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent.

As part of the Rights Agreement, the Board authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a Right) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2015. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a "Unit") of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $15.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no separate rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote or to receive dividends in respect of Rights.

Under the Rights Agreement, an Acquiring Person is any person or group of affiliated or associated persons (a "Person") who is or becomes the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company, dividends or distribution by the Company, stock issued under certain benefit plans or certain inadvertent actions by stockholders. For purposes of calculating percentage ownership under the Rights Agreement, outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock include all of the shares of common stock actually issued and outstanding. Beneficial ownership is determined as provided in the Rights Agreement and generally includes, without limitation, any ownership of securities a Person would be deemed to actually or constructively own for purposes of Section 382 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Rights Agreement provides that the following shall not be deemed an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement: (i) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and any employee benefit plan of the Company, or of any subsidiary of the Company, or any Person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan or (ii) any Person that, as of August 7, 2015, is the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (such Person, an "Existing Holder") unless and until such Existing Holder acquires beneficial ownership of additional shares of common stock (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Company on the outstanding shares of common stock or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock) in an amount in excess of 0.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

The Rights Agreement provides that a Person shall not become an Acquiring Person for purpose of the Rights Agreement in a transaction that the Board determines is exempt from the Rights Agreement, which determination shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, upon request by any Person prior to the date upon which such Person would otherwise become an Acquiring Person, including, without limitation, if the Board determines that (i) neither the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by such Person, directly or indirectly, as a result of such transaction nor any other aspect of such transaction would jeopardize or endanger the availability to the Company of the Tax Benefits or (ii) such transaction is otherwise in the best interests of the Company.

Initially, the Rights will not be exercisable and will be attached to all common stock representing shares then outstanding, and no separate Rights certificates will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the common stock and become exercisable and a distribution date (a "Distribution Date") will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board shall determine) following a public announcement that a Person has become an Acquiring Person or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer, exchange offer or other transaction that, upon consummation thereof, would result in a Person becoming an Acquiring Person.

Until the Distribution Date, common stock held in book-entry form, or in the case of certificated shares, common stock certificates, will evidence the Rights and will contain a notation to that effect. Any transfer of shares of common stock prior to the Distribution Date will constitute a transfer of the associated Rights. After the Distribution Date, the Rights may be transferred on the books and records of the Rights Agent as provided in the Rights Agreement.

If on or after the Distribution Date, a Person is or becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than certain Rights including those beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will have become void), will have the right to receive upon exercise common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price.

In the event that, at any time following the first date of a public announcement that a Person has become an Acquiring Person or that discloses information which reveals the existence of an Acquiring Person or such earlier date as a majority of the Board becomes aware of the existence of an Acquiring Person (any such date, the Stock Acquisition Date), (i) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the common stock of the Company is changed or exchanged or (iii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which have previously been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price.

At any time following the Stock Acquisition Date and prior to an Acquiring Person obtaining shares that would lead to a more than 50% change in the outstanding common stock, the Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such Person which have become void), in whole or in part, for common stock or Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right, subject to adjustment.

The Rights and the Rights Agreement will expire on the earliest of (i) 5:00 P.M. New York City time on August 7, 2018, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged pursuant to the Rights Agreement, (iii) the date on which the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of material valuable Tax Benefits or is no longer in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, (iv) the beginning of a taxable year to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward and (v) the first anniversary of the adoption of the Agreement if stockholder approval has not been received by or on such date.

At any time until the earlier of the Distribution Date or the expiration date of the Rights, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right. Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 redemption price.
