: Share Repurchase Program

On

April 6

,

2017

the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to

$200,000

of our outstanding common shares for a period up to

five

years. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares for cash on the open market, from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement. The timing of such repurchases is dependent on price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. Upon repurchase of the shares, we reduce our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess being applied against additional paid-in capital. This authorization replaces the
