ARC's shares surged above $6.00 today; let's take a quick look at Stadium Capital's investment in ARC

I noticed a few minutes ago that ARC’s shares surged above $6.00 today.

I’ve done several previous posts on the blog about Stadium Capital’s aggressive accumulation of ARC shares, from August 23^rd until now, after Stadium Capital first did an SEC Form 4 filling to indicate that they owned 10% or more of ARC’s stock.

Here’s a quick look at how Stadium Capital’s investment in ARC shares since August 23^rd. Note that the table below only considers the shares that Stadium Capital has purchased since August 23^rd, 2011. Stadium Capital owns another huge slug of ARC stock that it purchased before August 23^rd, and Stadium Capital’s cost-per-share for its prior purchases – purchases before August 23^rd - might be over or under the price-per-share that ARC’s stock was trading at today.
