The information required by this item with respect to equity compensation plans is set forth under Item 12 of this annual report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

During fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Effective August 1, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock effective through July 31, 2017. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we repurchased 1,850,000 shares of our common stock for $60.6 million, resulting in a remaining authorization of $39.4 million. Effective August 1, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our common stock effective through July 31, 2018. As there were no repurchases of common stock during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, all of the $200 million authorization was remaining at September 30, 2017, and no common stock has been repurchased subsequent to September 30, 2017.
