Stock Repurchase Program

On April 29, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program permitting purchases of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On April 28, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized an extension of the stock repurchase program permitting purchases of an additional $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time over the next twelve months commencing in May 2010 on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The unused balance from the May 2010 extension was not carried forward for future purchases. On April 19, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new program authorizing up to an additional $150.0 million of repurchases over the next twelve months commencing in May 2011. On August 8, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $250.0 million of stock repurchases over the twelve month period that commenced in May 2011. The total authorized funding for stock repurchases in that twelve month period is now $400.0 million. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit the Company to repurchase shares when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Company may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 1.5 million and 2.6 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for $50.5 million and $93.3 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased 0.5 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for $20.4 million and $42.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $111.1 million remaining available for future purchases of shares under the current repurchase program.
