PREFERRED SECURITIES:
On October 8, 2003, the Company issued 9,200,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/10th interest in a share of its Preferred Stock at the public offering price of $25 per share, or $230 million in the aggregate.
On July 30, 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining approximately 460,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock at $25 per share, which totaled $115 million.  The Company recognized a $3 million non-cash loss adjustment charged to retained earnings related to the write-off of issuance costs that reduced net earnings available for common stockholders.
