Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In June 2008, the Board authorized a program to repurchase up to 1.25 million shares of our common stock to be repurchased at the discretion of management from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions (the “2008 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2008 Repurchase Program has no set expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2008 Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 2024. In prior years, we repurchased a total of 592,827 shares, leaving 657,173 shares remaining under this authorization.
In December 2023, the Board authorized and approved a stock repurchase, separate from the 2008 Share Repurchase Program, of up to $25.0 million of our common stock concurrent with the issuance of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“2023 Notes”). See Note 15, “ Convertible Senior Notes,” included in this report for more information on the issuance. We used $14.4 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes to repurchase 92,090 shares at a price of $156.22, including transaction costs, to offset the impact of dilution from the issuance of 2023 Notes and equity compensation programs as well as to reduce our outstanding share count (“2023 Share Repurchase Program”). We have elected to retire the shares repurchased to date under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. Retired shares become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares. The purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value, including transaction costs, is recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.
