Dutch Auction
On January 8, 2014, we completed a modified Dutch Auction in which we acquired 2,286 of our common shares for $3.0 million, or $1,300 per share. In addition, we acquired 48 shares in the open market in the first quarter of 2014. We currently have 19,246 shares outstanding.
ICTC Group, Inc.
CIBL owns 40.6% of ICTC outstanding shares, but a Voting Rights Agreement, which was effective April 11, 2013 brought the Company’s voting interest in ICTC to 51.3% and as a result, as of that date CIBL began reporting ICTC results on a consolidated basis. To help clarify these accounting dynamics, we provide a table that provides CIBL on an ongoing basis, the results of ICTC, for the relevant period and the consolidated data reflecting the acquisition of voting control of ICTC by CIBL.
