Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 share buyback program, which authorizes the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase its own shares. The Company’s share buyback program is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or trading plan or otherwise. Opportunistic share repurchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, 0.9 million shares were repurchased for $20.9 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 3.3 million and 3.5 million shares were repurchased for $63.8 million and $48.8 million, respectively.
