Repurchases of Equity Securities


On December 11, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for up to a total of $100.0 million of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock. Repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases or purchases through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, or in privately negotiated transactions, all in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will be determined by our management based on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.


The value of the common stock repurchased, along with number of shares repurchased, and average price paid per share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:
