Stock Repurchase Program
7.            Stock Repurchase Activity

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.  In addition to the Program, we also acquire shares of our common stock from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements due at vesting.  Shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements do not reduce the Program authorization.

During the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014, we repurchased 371,589 shares of our common stock at a cost of $16.7 million, including 689 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $31,000.  During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014, we repurchased 1,072,295 shares of our common stock at a cost of $54.6 million, including 81,895 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $4.7 million.
 
We repurchased 134,406 shares of our common stock during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 at a cost of $7.1 million. We repurchased 344,197 shares of our common stock during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 at a cost of $18.8 million, including 77,473 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $4.3 million.

As of November 1, 2014, we had approximately $179.7 million remaining under the Program for stock repurchase.
