Stock Repurchase Program
In January 2018, the board of directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock during 2018. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. The Company intends to purchase shares under the repurchase program opportunistically with available funds while maintaining sufficient liquidity to fund its 2018 capital development program. This repurchase program is authorized to extend through December 31, 2018 and may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by the board of directors of the Company at any time. The Company did not make any purchases of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2017 under any stock repurchase program or otherwise, and has not made any such purchases of its common stock as of February 22, 2018.
