Other Events

 

Also on October 21, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to amend the existing stock repurchase program to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of its common stock, representing 5.7% of the Company’s outstanding common shares or approximately $5.5 million based on the Company’s closing price on October 25, 2016. Such purchases will be made in open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice, and will expire on October 21, 2018.
