2011 Stock Repurchases

In June 2011, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock, on the open market, up to $20,000 in aggregate and cancelled a prior authorization from 2008.

During the second quarter of 2011, we repurchased 27,803 shares from third party shareholders at an average price of $15.52 per share, including average commissions of $0.03 per share, on the open market. The total value of the second quarter transactions was $431. At June 30, 2011, 27,803 shares were held as treasury stock. In July 2011 we returned the shares to authorized and unissued.

As of June 30, 2011, $19,569 remained available for repurchase under the June 2011 authorization by the Board of Directors.
