Share Repurchase Program
 
On
November 21, 2002,
our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to
2,000,000
shares of our common stock, from time to time, either directly or through agents, in the open market at prices and on terms satisfactory to us. After that date, the Board of Directors increased the aggregate authorization under the repurchase program on several separate occasions, the last of which was on
April 13, 2015
when the Board of Directors increased the aggregate authorization to approximately
3,000,000
shares. There is
no
expiration date on the repurchase authorization and the amount and timing of future share repurchases, if any, will be determined as market and business conditions warrant.
As of
June 30, 2017
we had a remaining Board authorization to repurchase
1.4
million shares.
 
During the past
three
fiscal years, we repurchased the following shares of our common stock (trade date basis):
