Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In October 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a $750.0 million share repurchase program, effective from October 16, 2013 through December 31, 2016. In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program that superseded the October 2013 program and is effective from February 9, 2016 through December 31, 2018. The Company's goal for the share repurchase program is to offset the dilution created by its employee equity compensation programs and provide the flexibility to return capital to shareholders as business and market conditions warrant. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for $199.7 million.
