Stock Repurchase Programs

13. Stock Repurchase Programs

We repurchase outstanding common stock under two programs authorized by our Board of Directors, the Rule 10b5-1 program and a repurchase program of up to $600 million of outstanding common stock. In addition, we purchase shares to cover withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

Under the 10b5-1 program, we intend to continue to use cash generated by employee stock option exercises (other than those of Company officers and board members) to repurchase stock. We purchased four thousand shares for $16 thousand in the second quarter of 2012, and eight thousand shares for $31 thousand in the first six months of 2012 under this program.

As of June 29, 2012, we purchased 56.6 million shares of our common stock under the $600 million repurchase program at a total cost of $375.4 million, leaving $224.6 million available to be purchased under this program. We did not purchase any shares under this program in the second quarter and first half of 2012. We may change our repurchase activity and we provide no assurance that we will continue our repurchase activity in the future.

In addition, we purchased 0.3 million shares for $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, and 0.8 million shares for $3.0 million in the first six months of 2012 to cover minimum withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans.

We record repurchased shares as Treasury stock.
