Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity | Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity Preferred Stock Series B Convertible Preferred Stock On November 29, 2007, the Company issued and sold 35,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $35.0 million in cash. Total issuance costs were approximately $0.8 million. All of the shares were sold to affiliates of Chilton Investment Company, LLC (collectively, “Chilton”) pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of July 15, 2007. The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranked (i) senior to the common stock, and any series of preferred stock specifically designated as junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions, in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and upon any other distribution of the Company's assets; and (ii) on a parity with all other series of preferred stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions, in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and upon any other distribution of the Company's assets. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had an initial stated value of $1,000, that increased at the rate of 6.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, commencing on the issue date of such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to and including the earlier of (i) the date of liquidation, dissolution or winding up or the redemption of such share, or (ii) the date such share is converted into the Company's common stock. The stated value of a share as so accreted as of any date was referred to as the accreted value of the share as of that date. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock entitled the holders thereof to receive certain dividends and distributions to the extent that any dividends or distributions paid on the Company's common stock exceeded the annual accretion on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to vote on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to the holders of the Company's common stock, as a single class with the holders of the Company's common stock, with each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock having one vote per share of the Company's common stock then issuable upon conversion of such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. At any time and from time to time, any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could convert all or any portion of the Series B Convertible Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company's common stock computed by multiplying (i) each $1,000 of aggregate accreted value of the shares to be converted by (ii) the conversion rate then in effect (which initially was 14.44878 shares of common stock per $1,000 of accreted value, but subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of November 29, 2007, with Chilton pursuant to which the Company granted Chilton certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Chilton and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. In January 2011, 100 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with an accreted value of approximately $120,000 were converted by the holder into 1,737 shares of the Company's common stock. On November 29, 2012, the fifth anniversary of the issue date, the remaining 34,900 outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with an accreted value of approximately $47.0 million, were automatically converted into 679,168 shares of the Company's common stock. On December 14, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to eliminate its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Elimination, effective upon filing, had the effect of eliminating from the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to such series, which was previously filed by the Corporation with the Secretary of State on November 29, 2007. Stock Repurchase Programs On February 26, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase authorization of up to $100 million of DineEquity common stock, replacing an authorization approved in 2011 to repurchase up to $45 million of DineEquity common stock. Under the current program, the Company may repurchase shares on an opportunistic basis from time to time in open market transactions and in privately negotiated transactions based on business, market, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The repurchase program does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 412,022 shares of stock for $29.7 million. There were no stock repurchases in 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 534,101 shares of stock for $21.2 million. Repurchases of common stock are subject to limitations under our Credit Agreement and Senior Notes (see Note 7 - Long-Term Debt). Treasury Stock Repurchases of DineEquity common stock are included in treasury stock at the cost of shares repurchased plus any transaction costs. Treasury stock may be re-issued when vested stock options are exercised, when restricted stock awards are granted and when restricted stock units settle in stock upon vesting. The cost of treasury stock re-issued is determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company re-issued 318,644 shares, 433,732 shares and 135,230 shares, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 at a total FIFO cost of $11.7 million, $14.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Dividends During the year ended December 31, 2013, we declared and paid dividends on our common stock as follows:
