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 SEC 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. We had no stock repurchases under this plan in the first half of 2014 and have $86.7 million remaining.
