In conjunction with the commencement of a fourth repurchase plan, the Company also announced the completion of its third repurchase plan. That plan, which was announced on November 14, 2011, authorized the repurchase of up to 2,278,776 shares. The Company repurchased the full 2,278,776 shares under that plan, at a total cost of $33.0 million and an average cost of $14.48 per share.
Since the Company's first repurchase plan was announced on June 27, 2011, the Company has repurchased a combined total of 12,961,364 shares under its repurchase plans.

Under the fourth repurchase program, the Company will repurchase shares from time to time for cash in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.
