Share Repurchase Program |
11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On March 1, 2016, our Board authorized the 2016 Repurchase Program, which expired on February 28, 2017. We repurchased a total of 788,399 shares for an approximate cost of $26.6 million, or $33.72 per share, under the 2016 Repurchase Plan.
On February 24, 2017, our Board authorized the 2017 Repurchase Program, pursuant to which we may purchase up to $200 million of our common stock. Share repurchases under the 2017 Repurchase Program may be executed through various means including, without limitation, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The 2017 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and expires February 24, 2019. Authorization for the 2017 Repurchase Program may be terminated, increased, or decreased by our Board at its discretion at any time.
The following table sets forth our share repurchases under the 2016 and 2017 Share Repurchase Programs:
On May 5, 2017, we entered into the 2017 ASR Agreement. The agreement became effective on July 5, 2017. Upon the effectiveness of the agreement, we delivered to BofA $100.0 million in exchange for an initial delivery of a number of shares of our common stock. The actual number of shares to be repurchased under the 2017 ASR Agreement will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices paid for our common stock during the term of the transaction, less an agreed discount, and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The final settlement of the transaction under the agreement is expected to occur no later than the first quarter of 2018. At final settlement, BofA may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to us, or, under certain circumstances, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock or to make a cash payment, at our election, to BofA.
The 2017 ASR Agreement is part of our 2017 Repurchase Program. For more information, see Note 14 – Subsequent Events.
