Share Repurchase Program

On September 19, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $6.0 billion of outstanding common stock (the “2012 Repurchase Program”). The share repurchase authorization, which was effective immediately, permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and/or other derivative transactions. The 2012 Repurchase Program may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 7.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $393 million pursuant to the 2012 Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2013, there remained approximately $4.3 billion available for future repurchases under the 2012 Repurchase Program.
