There were no dividends declared or paid in the first quarter of fiscal years 2019 and 2018. The payment of cash dividends and the amount of any dividend are subject to review and change at the discretion of the company's Board of Directors.
Common Stock and Debt Repurchase Authorizations
On November 2, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of the company's common stock and up to $100 million aggregate principal amount of any of the company's debt securities (including convertible debt securities), in each case from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the company's debt covenants. These repurchase authorizations supersede the remaining authority under the prior July 2016 repurchase authorizations described below. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the company repurchased 3.0 million shares of common stock for $50 million (including commission costs) pursuant to the common stock repurchase authorization. As of December 31, 2018, the amounts remaining available for repurchases were $150 million under the common stock repurchase authorization and $100 million under the debt repurchase authorization.
