Share Repurchases

On July 23, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock over the next three years. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, open market transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase program, which expires on July 22, 2018, does not oblige the Company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased, or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing of our share repurchases may depend upon the market conditions, other uses of capital, and other factors.

Dividends

Our current policy is to use cash flows from operations to fund future growth, pay down debt, and, subject to market conditions, repurchase common stock under a stock buy-back program approved by our Board of Directors. During fiscal 2016, the Company undertook a strategic review to evaluate, among other things, how to invest its resources and maximize returns. As part of that evaluation, management has been reviewing and considering the continued use of the share repurchase program and the possible initiation of a cash dividend. The Company expects to present its strategy and corporate goals at its Investor Day, to be held on December 1, 2016.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
