 10. Stock Buyback

On April 28, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program. As of December 25, 2011, the Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to 3,593,350 shares of outstanding common stock under the stock buyback program. Shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market, by block purchase, or through negotiated transactions, or possibly other transactions managed by broker-dealers. No time limit has been set for completion or expiration of the program. As of December 25, 2011, the Company had purchased 3,505,187 shares under the stock buyback program for approximately $30.7 million, or an average of $8.76 per share. Of the total shares repurchased under the stock buyback program, 2,300 shares were repurchased in fiscal year 2011 for approximately $32,100, and none were purchased in the first nine months of fiscal year 2012. As of December 25, 2011, 88,163 shares remained available for repurchase under this program.

In addition to the shares repurchased in the stock buyback program discussed immediately above, the Company repurchased all 705,000 shares of its common stock then held by Brightpoint, Inc. in a privately negotiated transaction on July 1, 2008 for approximately $6.4 million, or $9.09 per share.

The Company also withholds shares from its employees and directors at their request, equal to the minimum federal and state tax withholdings related to vested performance stock units, stock option exercises and restricted stock awards. For the nine months ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 the allocated value of the shares withheld totaled $511,700 and $1,200,400, respectively.
