Item 8.01 Other Events.
From time to time, the Registrant has repurchased shares of its common stock under a $400 million stock repurchase program approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors in January 2011. As previously disclosed, the timing of repurchases and the actual number of shares to be repurchased depend on a variety of discretionary factors such as stock price, cash-flow forecasts and other market conditions. At April 30, 2012, approximately $171.4 million of authorization for future purchases remained under the stock repurchase program. The Registrant is not currently purchasing shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program in order to allow for a more effective allocation of resources consistent with the Registrant’s growth strategies. The Registrant may resume repurchases under the stock repurchase program at any time in its discretion.
