Shareholders' Equity

Note 19. Shareholders’ Equity

On November 16, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a plan that allows for the repurchase up to an aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “2010 Repurchase Plan”). Any repurchases pursuant to the 2010 Repurchase Plan would be made in the open market or in negotiated transactions. During 2012, the Company purchased approximately 140,000 shares of Company stock at an average price of $17.59 a share through the 2010 Repurchase Plan. As a result, as of December 31, 2012, approximately 330,000 shares remained available for purchase under the 2010 Repurchase Plan. Currently the 2010 Repurchase Plan has no expiration date.

On May 30, 2012, the Company announced a modified “Dutch Auction” Tender Offer to purchase up to $10 million of its common shares (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer expired on June 27, 2012. Under the terms of the Tender Offer, the Company’s shareholders had the option of tendering all or a portion of the Company’s common stock that they owned (1) at a price of not less than $12.00 and not greater than $13.50, in increments of $0.25 per share, or (2) without specifying a purchase price, in which case the common stock that they owned would have been purchased at the purchase price determined in accordance with the Tender Offer. All common stock purchased by the Company were purchased at the same price.

The Company accepted for purchase approximately 307,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $13.50 per share. These shares represented approximately 6.9% of the total common stock outstanding as of June 27, 2012 prior to the purchase of shares pursuant to the Tender Offer. With the completion of the Tender Offer, the Company had approximately 4,121,000 shares of common stock outstanding at that time. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company in connection with the Tender Offer was $4,147,000 excluding transaction costs. The Company paid for the Tender Offer with available cash on hand.

On November 26, 2012, the board of directors of the Company declared a one-time special cash dividend of $2.00 per common share (the “Dividend”) for an aggregate dividend of approximately $8,322,000. The Dividend was payable on December 17, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 2012. The Dividend was funded primarily from available cash on hand with the remainder from borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility.
