Note 9. Equity

Dividends

On April 21, 2020, our Board of Directors declared the 2020 second quarter cash dividend of $0.625 per share of common stock, payable on June 12, 2020 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2020.

During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.625 and $0.55 per share, or $41.0 million and $37.0 million in total, respectively. In addition, we paid $0.9 million and $2.6 million in dividend equivalents with respect to vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We make annual grants of long-term incentive awards to officers and key employees in the forms of service-based and performance-based RSUs that have approximately 3-year vesting periods. The performance-based RSU awards are subject to both service and performance goal criteria. We also make annual grants of stock to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors that vest immediately upon grant. The fair value of the RSUs and stock grants is determined based on the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date.

In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we made payments of $5.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively, to tax authorities on our employees’ behalf for shares withheld related to net share settlements. These payments are reflected in the Stock-based compensation, net caption of our consolidated statements of equity.

A summary of the status of our unvested service-based and performance-based RSUs as of March 31, 2020 and changes during the quarter then ended is as follows:

Share Repurchase Plan

On October 23, 2018, our Board of Directors amended our share repurchase plan, increasing the total authorized number of shares available to be repurchased by 5.0 million and extending the duration of the plan through December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2020, we had authorization under the plan to repurchase approximately 3.1 million shares, or about 5% of our current outstanding shares. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. During the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares at an average cost of $90.09, for a total of $300.0 million. There were no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2019.

Noncontrolling Interest Transaction

On March 31, 2020, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Feralloy Corporation, we purchased the remaining 49% noncontrolling interest of Feralloy Processing Company (“FPC”), a toll processor in Portage, Indiana. The increase in our ownership from 51% to 100% was accounted for as an equity transaction. The difference between the $8.0 million consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest with a carrying amount of $1.1 million was recognized as a decrease in total Reliance stockholders’ equity.
