Debt Redemption
On October 1, 2016, we redeemed $650,000 in principal amount of our outstanding 5.875% Notes for an approximate purchase price of $669,097, including premium, which will result in the recognition of a Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities, net, of approximately $24,229 in the fourth quarter of 2016. This redemption was funded with $359,097 of Cash and cash equivalents and $310,000 of additional borrowings under our Credit Facility.
Capital Return Program
For the period from October 1, 2016 to October 25, 2016, we repurchased 18,548 shares of our common stock on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $76,791, including fees and commissions.
On October 26, 2016, our board of directors approved an additional $2,000,000 for repurchase of our common stock.  The new approval increases the amount of common stock that we have been authorized to repurchase to an aggregate of $10,000,000. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions and transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates. We intend to fund the additional repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings.
On October 26, 2016, our board of directors also declared the first quarterly dividend on our common stock in the amount of $0.01 per share of common stock payable on November 30, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2016. Our board of directors expects that this dividend will be the first of regular quarterly dividends, in an aggregate annual amount of $0.04 per share of common stock.
