SHARE REPURCHASES

2021 Stock Repurchase Program

On December 23, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2021.

Under the terms of the program, we are allowed to repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, an accelerated stock repurchase program, and/or a trading plan in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1. The timing and the amount of the repurchases will be determined by management based on a number of factors, including but not limited to share price, trading volume and general market conditions, as well as on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.

Pursuant to this program, we repurchased 4,757 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $249.72 per share and a total cost of approximately $1 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 297,105 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $249.29 per share and a total cost of approximately $74 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares.

On August 2, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2022, to commence upon the completion of the Company's existing $100 million share repurchase program. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events for additional information on the newly authorized share repurchase program.
