The purchases will be made in the open market, or in private transactions, whenever deemed appropriate by management. The timing of any such transactions will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the past seven years the company has repurchased approximately 3,174,783 shares of its common stock (adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends) under previous repurchase authorizations at an average price of $4.02 per share.
