Item 8.01.    Other Events

On June 14, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which up to $150 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock may be repurchased. The share repurchase program, which is effective as of November 6, 2018, replaces the prior $125 million authorization to repurchase shares approved by the Board in March 2016. Of the $45.3 million remaining from the prior authorization as of December 31, 2017, the Company utilized $43.5 million during the second quarter of 2018 through open market and accelerated share repurchases.

Under the new program authorized by the Board of Directors, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, including pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 plan, at such times, upon such terms, in such quantities and for such prices as determined by management at its discretion. The Company expects to fund all repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The Company is not obligated to acquire a particular number of shares and the program may be discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
