Accelerated Share Repurchase Transactions

On March 18, 2014, the Bancorp's Board of Directors authorized the Bancorp to repurchase up to 100 million shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and to utilize any derivative or similar instrument to effect share repurchase transactions (including without limitation, accelerated share repurchase contracts, equity forward transactions, equity option transactions, equity swap transactions, cap transactions, collar transactions, floor transactions or other similar transactions or any combination of the foregoing transactions). This share repurchase authorization replaced the Board's previous authorization from March of 2013.

During 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Bancorp entered into a number of accelerated share repurchase transactions. As part of these transactions, the Bancorp entered into forward contracts in which the final number of shares delivered at settlementwas based generally on a discount to the average daily volume weighted average price of the Bancorp's common stock during the term of these repurchase agreements. The accelerated share repurchaseswere treated as two separate transactions (i) the acquisition of treasury shares on the acquisition date and (ii) a forward contract indexed to the Bancorp's stock.

The following table presents a summary of the Bancorp's accelerated share repurchase transactions that were entered into or settled during the six months ended June 30, 2014:
