Treasury Stock Purchases

On September 25, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of the Company's common shares, which authorization expires upon the completion of the $20.0 million in repurchases. The Company may use various methods to make the repurchases, including open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, or open market solicitations for shares. Because the Company has not adopted a Rule 10b5-1 plan for these repurchases, repurchases may only be made during open window periods depending upon relevant factors including market or business conditions. Repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

The Company did not repurchase any shares during 2018 or 2017 under an approved plan. Shares acquired during 2018 or 2017 resulted from common shares deemed surrendered by employees in connection with the Company’s equity compensation and benefit plans to satisfy employee income tax obligations upon vesting.
