Stock Repurchase Program
10. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM:

In December 2007, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $5.0 million of common stock on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time through December 31, 2008 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Board subsequently amended the Stock Repurchase Program, authorizing both an increase to and an extension of the Stock Repurchase Program. The Stock Repurchase Program, as amended, had a maximum purchase value of shares of $16.1 million (the “Purchase Authorization”) and was scheduled to expire on September 20, 2013 (the “Repurchase Period”). In September 2013, the Board approved both a $7.0 million increase to the Purchase Authorization, to $23.1 million, and an extension of the Repurchase Period to September 19, 2014. As of September 30, 2013, there was $10.0 million of remaining Purchase Authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program.

The timing and amount of the purchases will be based upon market conditions, securities law considerations and other factors. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares in any period and may be modified, suspended, extended or discontinued at any time, without prior notice.

The Company repurchased a total of 365 thousand shares of common stock during the nine- month period ended September 30, 2013 at an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. The Company repurchased a total of 380 thousand and 568 thousand shares of common stock during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, at an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
