On February 15, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $300,000 of its common shares.  A Rule 10b5-1 plan was adopted and allows the repurchase of its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.  The share repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2014.  As of September 28, 2013, the Company had repurchased 713,092 shares using cash of $26,926.  There remains approximately $273,074 available for repurchase under this authorization.
