On February 25, 2016, the closing sale price of our Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange was $83.32 per share. As of February 25, 2016, there were 3,740 holders of record of the Common Stock. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial owners of our stock represented by these stockholders of record.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our businesses, including through potential acquisitions. We may also deploy cash to fund share repurchases. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
