Share Repurchase Program

In May 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125.0 million of our outstanding common shares as market conditions warrant over a period commencing on May 19, 2017 and expiring on May 18, 2019.  Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18.  The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. During the first quarter of 2018, we repurchased approximately 443,700 common shares on the open market at an average price of $22.52, totaling approximately $10.0 million, exclusive of commissions and related fees. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of March 31, 2018 was approximately $65.7 million.
