TREASURY STOCK

In November 2018, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to $100 million of its common stock effective January 1, 2019, which extends until the end of 2020. In November 2019, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorization of the existing stock repurchase program of up to $200 million and extended the program through the end of 2021. The current authorization includes the remaining authorized amount under the existing stock repurchase program. The exact number and timing of share repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors, and will be funded through available cash balances. In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved the resumption of the stock repurchase program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020 which was temporarily suspended in May 2020 as a result of the economic uncertainty due to COVID-19.

The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock in the third quarter of 2020. Prior to the temporary suspension of the Company’s stock repurchase program in May 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $30 million year-to-date 2020. The share amounts of share repurchases have been retroactively adjusted for the impact of the 1-for-10 reverse stock split disclosed in Note 1 above. As of September 26, 2020, approximately $130 million remains available for stock repurchases under the current stock repurchase program which will resume in the fourth quarter of 2020 and run through the end of 2021.

At September 26, 2020, there were 10 million common shares held in treasury, which has been retroactively adjusted for the impact of the 1-for-10 reverse stock split disclosed in Note 1 above. The Company’s Third Amended Credit Agreement included certain covenants on restricted payments such as common stock repurchases, based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, liquidity and borrowing availability. Refer to Note 8 for additional information about the Company’s compliance with financial covenants.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

In order to preserve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and in light of the uncertainties as to its duration and economic impact, in May 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors temporarily suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend beginning in the second quarter of 2020. There was no quarterly cash dividend declared and paid in the second or third quarters of 2020. The Company’s quarterly cash dividend remains temporarily suspended. Prior to the temporary suspension of the Company’s quarterly cash dividend, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on its common stock, resulting in total cash payments of $13 million year-to-date 2020. Dividends have been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital as the Company is in an accumulated deficit position. Payment of dividends is permitted under the Company’s Third Amended Credit Agreement provided that the Company has the required minimum liquidity or fixed charge coverage ratio, but may be limited if the Company does not meet the necessary requirements. Refer to Note 8 for additional information about the Company’s compliance with financial covenants.
