Effective as of July 3, 2016, our Board approved an increase in our total remaining share repurchase authorization to $300 million. As of October 1, 2016, the remaining share repurchase authorization was $275 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status. The cost of share repurchases is first charged to additional paid-in capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are charged to retained earnings.
