On March 5, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for up to five percent of our then outstanding common shares. The shares could be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. There were approximately 41.8 million shares of common stock outstanding on March 5, 2008. On May 21, 2010, our Board of Directors canceled the stock repurchase program.

We did not purchase any shares in 2010 prior to cancellation of the program, and we did not purchase any shares in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we repurchased and retired 1,131,622 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $1,041,000.
