Section 8 – Other Events

ITEM 8.01 Other Events

On October 23, 2014, the Company announced the initiation of a quarterly dividend to its stockholders.  The first dividend payment of $0.10 per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be paid on November 20, 2014 to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 3, 2014. Dividend declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.  The dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.

On October 23, 2014, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved increasing the size of its stock repurchase program by an additional $200 million, bringing the amount available for future repurchases of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to $260 million. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as the Company considers appropriate. The timing of repurchases and the number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, the rate of dilution from the Company's equity compensation programs, regulatory requirements, and other market conditions. The Company may limit, suspend, or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice. Any shares repurchased under the program will be returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock.
