17. Shareholders’ Equity

Special Employee Grants of Company Common Stock

At three times during 2018, we made grants of the Company’s common stock totaling 28,160 shares to employees of the Company who do not participate in the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation programs. The intent of the grants was to foster a sense of ownership in the Company by employees other than those who participate in the Company’s long-term equity incentive program. Each employee that participated in these grants received ten shares of the Company’s common stock, with full rights of ownership, including dispositive rights. These awards had a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $20.84 per share based on the closing New York Stock Exchange market price of the common stock on the business day prior to the day each award was granted. The resulting fair value of these grants totaling $587 thousand was recognized as stock-based compensation expense classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and included in stock-based compensation in the accompanying statement of cash flows for the year ended December 29, 2018, as well as recorded as common stock at par value and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 29, 2018.

2018 Equity Issuance

On September 18, 2018, we completed an underwritten, public offering of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $23.00 per share.

The offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $161.0 million. Net of an underwriting fee of $1.15 per share, net cash proceeds to the Company approximated $153.0 million. We used $152.0 million, of these proceeds to prepay borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. The remainder of the proceeds were used for working capital or general corporate purposes, including payment of offering expenses of approximately $447 thousand, classified as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 29, 2018.

Repurchases of Company Common Stock

During 2020 and 2019, we repurchased 51,479 shares and 34,240 shares, respectively, of our common stock at a total cost of $815 thousand and $505 thousand, respectively, all relating to purchases from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards. Those shares were immediately retired. We also repurchased shares of our common stock on the open market during 2019, as further described in the next paragraph.

Program for Repurchases of Company Common Stock

On May 22, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program of up to $30 million. The repurchases may be made in open market or private transactions from time to time. Repurchases of shares may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under applicable laws. The Company bases repurchase decisions, including the timing of repurchases, on factors such as the Company’s stock price, general economic and market conditions, the potential impact on the Company’s capital structure, the expected return on competing uses of capital such as strategic acquisitions and capital investments, and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. From the inception of the program on May 22, 2019, through December 28, 2019,we made repurchases of 393,819 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $5.5 million under this program. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
