Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
As a result of our proposed acquisition of Office Depot, we
have temporarily suspended our share repurchase program to
focus on building up cash reserves ahead of the acquisition.
Therefore, we did not repurchase any of our common stock
under our share repurchase program during 2015. A total of
22,777 shares of our common stock with a weighted average
per share price of $12.36 were withheld during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2015 to satisfy minimum statutory withholding
obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock
awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans.
