Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $20.0 million to acquire shares of our outstanding common stock. The repurchases are to be made at management’s discretion in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements and are subject to market conditions, share price and other factors.
In the first quarter of 2015 the Company repurchased 207,738 shares for $1.5 million under this authorization at an average price of $7.01 per share, calculated inclusive of commissions and fees. Cash used to settle the repurchase transactions as of June 28, 2014 totaled $1.3 million and is reflected as a component of cash used in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accrued liabilities include $0.2 million for amounts owed on the unsettled repurchase transactions as of June 28, 2014. In 2014 the Company repurchased 19,832 shares for $0.2 million at an average price of $9.65 per share. The Company has repurchased a total of 227,570 shares life to date under this authorization as a part of its publicly announced plan.
There is no fixed completion date for the repurchase program. The following table provides information with respect to share repurchases by the Company during 2015 and 2014.

The Company currently anticipates that it will continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis in the future, although the declaration, timing and amount of any future cash dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination that cash dividends are in the best interest of the shareholders.
