On January 24, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a one-year share repurchase program of up to $15 million of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to repurchase its outstanding common stock from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares may be retired immediately and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares or they may be held by the Company as treasury stock. In 2011, the Company repurchased 264,047 shares of its common stock under the share repurchase authorization at a weighted-average price of $8.05 per share for an aggregate purchase cost of $2,126,597.
