Capital Stock Activity

The Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by stockholders.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2008, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the March 2008 authorization) whereby the Company was authorized repurchase up to an additional aggregate of $10.0 million of its outstanding common shares. During fiscal year 2010, 1,252,861 shares were repurchased under this program with a weighted-average per share purchase price of $1.13. On March 3, 2010, the scheduled expiration date of this program, the unused availability of $6,903,115 expired unused.

In February 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "February 2010 authorization") whereby the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of its outstanding Class A Common Shares. During fiscal year 2011, 356,064 shares were repurchased under this program with a weighted-average per share price of $1.56, respectively. The February 2010 authorization was fully utilized as of November 2011.

In August 2011, the Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program whereby the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of its outstanding Class A Common Stock (the "August 2011 authorization"). During fiscal year 2012, under the February 2010 authorization and the August 2011 authorization, 6.4 million shares were repurchased with a weighted-average per share purchase price of $2.63. Repurchases include a purchase on May 31, 2011 of 1,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, including 618,664 shares that were converted from the Company's Class B Common Stock. These shares were purchased from a voting trust, dated February 23, 1994 (the "Voting Trust") and from other trusts associated with certain members of Mr. Robert C. Penny III's family. Robert C. Penny III and Robert W. Foskett currently are members of the Company's Board of Directors. They also serve as co-trustees and are beneficiaries of the Voting Trust. The Company paid a total of $3.4 million or approximately $3.43 per share, which represented the volume weighted-average price of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the three daily trading sessions on May 23, 24 and 25, 2011, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Messrs. Penny and Foskett currently serve as directors of the Company. As of March 31, 2012, there was no remaining amount under the February 2010 authorization and approximately $12.5 million remaining for additional share repurchases under the August 2011 authorization.

Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company repurchased 113,734 shares from certain executives that were surrendered to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. These repurchases are not included in the authorized share repurchase programs and had a weighted-average purchase price of $3.52.

Stock Restriction Agreements

The members of the Penny family (principal stockholders) have a Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement which prohibits, with limited exceptions, such members from transferring their Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock acquired prior to November 30, 1995, without first offering such stock to the other members of the Penny family. If converted, Class B stock converts on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock upon a transfer. As of March 31, 2012, a total of 13,937,151 shares of Class B Common Stock are subject to this Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement.

Voting Rights

The Company's Common Stock is divided into two classes. Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share while Class B Common Stock is entitled to four votes per share. As of May 14, 2012, as trustees the Voting Trust, containing common stock held for the benefit of the Penny family, Robert C. Penny III and Robert W. Foskett have the exclusive power to vote over 49.3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of our common stock. Certain Penny family members also own, or are beneficiaries of trusts, that own shares outside of the Voting Trust. As trustees of the Voting Trust and other trusts, Messrs. Penny and Foskett control 53.1% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding stock and therefore effectively control the Company.
