Accelerated Share Repurchase Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Bancorp entered into or settled 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 settlement was 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 repurchases were 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 three months ended March 31, 2015:
