15.    Stock repurchase program

On March 18, 2013, the Company announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program (the 2013 Share Repurchase Program) pursuant to which the Company could repurchase up to $150,000 of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Share Repurchase Program were made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices the Company deemed appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant in the Company’s sole discretion. The 2013 Share Repurchase Program did not have an expiration date, but provided for suspension or discontinuation at any time.

On September 11, 2014, the Company announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the 2014 Share Repurchase Program) pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $300,000 of the Company’s common stock. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program authorization revokes the previously authorized but unused amounts of $112,664 from the 2013 Share Repurchase Program. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During fiscal year 2013, we purchased 501 shares of common stock for $37,337 at an average price of $74.58 from the 2013 Share Repurchase Program. During fiscal 2014, we purchased 321 shares of common stock for $39,923 at an average price of $124.31 from the 2014 Share Repurchase Program.
