Treasury Stock

In May 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock. In August 2016, the Board of Directors authorized increasing the share repurchase program to $250 million. The stock repurchase authorization permits the Company to repurchase stock from time-to-time through a combination of open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated stock repurchase transactions and/or other derivative transactions. The authorization extends to the end of 2018 and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The exact number and timing of share repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors, and will be funded through existing liquidity.

In the third quarter and year-to-date 2017, the Company purchased approximately 4 million shares at a cost of $17 million and 8 million shares at a cost of $34 million, respectively, under the stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2017, $84 million remains available for repurchase under the current authorization. Under the Company’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company’s ability to continue to repurchase its common stock is significantly restricted. Refer to Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for more information.

Dividends on Common Stock

In the third quarter and year-to-date 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.025 per share on its common stock, resulting in total cash payments of $13 million and $39 million, respectively. Dividends have been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital as the Company is in an accumulated deficit position. Additionally, payment of dividends is permitted under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement provided that the Company has the required minimum liquidity or fixed charge ratio, but may be limited if the Company does not meet the necessary requirements. Additionally, under the Company’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, payment of dividends is permitted subject to compliance with an annual limit.
