SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate 29,083 shares of Common Stock at a total cost of $1.3 million and an aggregate 31,972 shares of Class A Common Stock at a total cost of $1.1 million. The transactions occurred as settlement for employee taxes due pertaining to exercises of non-qualified stock options and did not impact the number of shares authorized for future purchase under the Company’s share repurchase program.

In December 2012, the Company paid a special and extraordinary $2.14 per share cash dividend on both classes of HEICO's common stock as well as its regular semi-annual $.06 per share cash dividend that was accelerated from January 2013. The dividends, which aggregated $116.6 million, were funded from borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
