Shares Repurchased and Dividends

17. Shares Repurchased and Dividends

On October 23, 2019, the Company announced that it would be raising its quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share of Common Stock and to $0.20 per share of Class B Common Stock, up from $0.1125 and $0.09 per share, respectively. The amount and timing of any dividend payment is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors each quarter.

On January 2, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase from time to time up to $100.0 million of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. Repurchases made under the program, if any, will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and market conditions, the Company stock price, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program will be funded using the Company’s available cash or capacity under its 2021 Credit Agreement and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of February 27, 2021, the Company had repurchased a total of 368,117 shares for an average price per share of $167.87 under the share repurchase program using cash on hand. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 27, 2021, the Company repurchased 12,200 and 53,200 shares for an average price per share of $189.96 and $179.21, respectively. During the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended February 29, 2020, the Company repurchased 20,500 and 71,100 shares for an average price per share of $206.34 and $199.77, respectively.
