TREASURY STOCK
NOTE 12 - TREASURY STOCK
Treasury stock is recorded at the average cost of $22.75 per share, including additional costs, and results in a reduction of shareholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  In April 2006, we purchased 2,249,975 shares of our common stock at $22.50 per share using proceeds from the December 20, 2005 sale of Catamount.  In July 2007, we began using Treasury shares to meet reinvestment needs under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  In September 2009, we ceased using Treasury shares and began using original issue shares to meet reinvestment obligations under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
