These repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. On April 20, 2012, the Board increased the authorized amount available to repurchase the Company’s shares by an additional $5.0 million, bringing the total available to repurchase the Company’s common stock to approximately $9.0 million at that time.
