We also remain committed to returning capital to stockholders through our increased quarterly dividend and our authorized share repurchase program. In the first quarter, we successfully completed a secondary offering of our stock, which included repurchasing $75 million of stock directly from our majority owner. Today we announced we are expanding the repurchase program to maximize flexibility to further repurchase stock in the future."
