Note 16—Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common stock

 

We issued 71,757 shares of common stock in February 2018 and 65,429 shares of common stock in February 2017 under our long-term retention plan (“LTR Plan”). The shares were purchased by the participants in the LTR Plan with payment made to us of $1.5 million in February 2018 and $1.1 million in February 2017. Our LTR Plan for managers and executives allows participants to use a portion of their annual bonus amount to purchase our common stock at a discount from the market price. The shares purchased in February 2018 were for bonus amounts earned in 2017, and the number of shares was calculated at 75% of the average closing market price of December 2017. The shares purchased in February 2017 were for bonus amounts earned in 2016, and the number of shares was calculated at 75% of the average closing market price of January 2017.

In August 2018 and 2017,  we issued 10,092 shares and 11,448 shares of common stock, respectively, as part of the quarterly compensation of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

Share repurchase plan

 

In May 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a $5.0 million share repurchase program. In August 2018, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program to $20.0 million. Under the share repurchase program, we can, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we purchased and cancelled 335,705 shares of common stock, which in the aggregate, equaled $8.5 million, at an average price of $25.26 per share.
