Stock Repurchase Program
7.            Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2012, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized a Stock Repurchase Program (Program) of $250.0 million to repurchase our common stock through January 29, 2016.  The Program replaced an existing program (Former Program) and authorizes repurchases of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases dependent on market conditions and at the discretion of our management.

Under the Program, we repurchased 99,430 shares of our common stock during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 at a cost of $5.4 million, including 76,924 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $4.3 million.  We repurchased 316,960 shares of our common stock during the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 at a cost of $16.8 million, including 59,495 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $3.1 million.

Under all authorizations, we have repurchased a total of 12.1 million shares of our common stock at an approximate cost of $328.7 million as of May 4, 2013, and had approximately $244.2 million remaining under the Program for stock repurchase.  Shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements do not reduce the authorization.
