Share Repurchases

In August 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock. Through March 31, 2012 we have repurchased 379,055 shares, of which 82,000 were purchased in 2012 at an average price of $23.72 per share. At March 31, 2012, 1,620,945 shares remained available for purchase. This plan does not have an expiration date and we may continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the future as conditions warrant.
