Note 10. Stock Buyback

 

On April 23, 2014, the Board of Directors expanded the Company’s then existing stock buyback program and authorized the purchase on a non-accelerated basis of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s stock over a 24-month period, ending in April 2016. 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 shares were purchased during the first nine months of fiscal year 2016. As of December 27, 2015, $5.4 million remained available for repurchase under this program.  

 

Our revolving credit facility and term loan with SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, limits the aggregate dollar value of shares that may be repurchased to $30.0 million.  As of December 27, 2015, the Company had the ability to purchase approximately $11.7 million in additional shares of common stock without violating this covenant.

 

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 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, the allocated value of the shares withheld totaled $827,000 and $1,411,800, respectively.
