Share Repurchase

 

On October 26, 2010, we announced that our board of directors authorized $35.0 million for share repurchases (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program from time to time at prevailing market prices in the open market or in privately negotiated purchases, or both. We may utilize one or more plans with our brokers or banks for pre-authorized purchases within defined limits pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to effect all or a portion of the repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased 745,414 shares of common stock for approximately $10.0 million, at a weighted average cost of approximately $13.37 per share.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we purchased 3.4 million shares of common stock for $43.2 million, at a weighted average cost of approximately $12.80 per share.

 

We also have a policy that requires shares to be repurchased by us to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards.
