11. Stock Repurchase Plans and Shareholder Rights Plan

On March 30, 2017, Holdings announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan that permits Holdings to repurchase an incremental $500.0 million in shares of Holdings’ common stock (the "March 2017 Stock Repurchase Plan"). As of July 24, 2020, Holdings repurchased 4,605,000 shares at a cumulative cost of approximately $268.3 million and an average price per share of $58.26 under the March 2017 Stock Repurchase Plan, leaving approximately $231.7 million available for permitted repurchases.

The amount of share repurchases is limited by the covenants in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the 2024 Notes, the 2024 Notes Add-on, the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes. Additionally, in conjunction with the increase in the borrowing capacity of the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan, and the issuance of the 2025 Notes (see Note 3, Long-Term Indebtedness), pursuant to amendments to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility in April 2020, we agreed to temporarily suspend the repurchase of Holdings common stock until the earlier of

December 31, 2021, or such time as the incremental revolving credit facility commitments are terminated and the actual quarterly 2020 Borrower Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility) is used for calculating the senior secured leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

On March 31, 2020, Holdings announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) payable on April 10, 2020, for each share of common stock to the shareholders of record on that date. In connection with the Rights, Holdings and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, entered into a Rights Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2020 (the “Rights Agreement”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from Holdings one one-thousandth of a Series B Junior Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of Holdings at a price of $75.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented by a Right, subject to adjustment. Subject to certain exceptions, if a person or group acquires more than 10% of Holdings’ outstanding common stock, the Rights will become exercisable for common stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Rights Agreement.
