Common Stock Repurchase Programs:

In July 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock up to an amount sufficient to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares under the Company’s equity compensation programs. The share repurchase program allows the Company to make open market purchases from time-to-time based on general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions. The repurchase program also allows for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock to offset the dilutive impact from the issuance of shares, if any, related to the Company’s acquisition program. No shares were purchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

In August 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s common stock in addition to its existing share repurchase program, of which $250.0 million remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2018. Under this program, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased

approximately

2.5 million shares of its common stock for $78.6 million. The Company also withheld

19,331 shares to satisfy minimum statutory withholding obligations of $0.6 million in connection with the vesting of restricted stock during the quarter.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased an additional 817,950 shares of its common stock for $21.4 million.

The Company intends to utilize various methods to effect any future share repurchases, including, among others, open market purchases and accelerated share repurchase programs. The amount and timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions.
