Purchases by the Company under its stock buy-back program may be made from time to time in open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise, as determined by the Company's management. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares of its common stock. The amount of repurchase activity will depend on a variety of factors, such as the level of cash generated from operations, cash requirements of the Company's businesses, current stock market price, self-imposed blackout periods, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions. The stock buy-back program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice, and it has no set expiration date.
