Share Repurchase Program

O. Share Repurchase Program

On December 17, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the Repurchase Program) which allowed us to repurchase up to $25 million of our outstanding stock.  The purchases were made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.  The Repurchase Program was funded from cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities.  The Repurchase Program expired on December 31, 2015.  As of December 31, 2015, we had purchased 806,018 shares at a cost of $25 million under the Repurchase Program.  The average purchase price per share from inception of the program until its expiration was $31.02.
