The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 27, 2014 was $98.75 per share. As of March 27, 2014, we had 56 holders of record of our common stock. Because many shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.

On March 8, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a $1.00 per share special cash dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2012. The special cash dividend, totaling $62.5 million, was paid on May 15, 2012.

Our Board of Directors may determine future dividends after giving consideration to our levels of profit and cash flow, capital requirements, current and future liquidity, restrictions as part of our credit facility as well as financial and other conditions existing at the time.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

On March 18, 2013, we announced the approval of a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices that the Company deems appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant in the Company’s sole discretion. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No repurchases of our common stock were completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
