NOTE 16 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On April 22, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of Common Stock. In addition, on April 29, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $850 million of Common Stock, which includes the remaining value available under the Company’s prior authorization. These repurchases can be conducted on the open market or as private purchases and may include the use of derivative contracts with large financial institutions, in all cases subject to compliance with applicable law. Repurchases will be funded using the Company’s on-shore cash and on-shore cash generation. This repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Repurchases under the 2013 repurchase program were as follows during the periods indicated:


Period	Total Number of Shares Repurchased		Total Cost of Repurchase		Average Price Paid Per Share*		Amount Available Under Repurchase Program
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Available balance as of June 30, 2013							$	250,000
Quarter ended September 29, 2013		1,935	$	96,462	$	48.06	$	153,538
Quarter ended December 29, 2013		762	$	39,800	$	52.20	$	113,738
Quarter ended March 30, 2014		930	$	49,414	$	53.13	$	64,324

Average price paid per share excludes accelerated share repurchases for which cost was incurred during the September 2013 quarter, but that did not settle until the December 2013 quarter. See Collared Accelerated Share Repurchases section below for details regarding average price associated with these transactions.

In addition to shares repurchased under the Board-authorized repurchase program shown above, during the nine months ended March 30, 2014, the Company acquired 468,585 shares at a total cost of $23.9 million, which the Company withheld through net share settlements to cover minimum tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans. The shares retained by the Company through these net share settlements are not a part of the Board-authorized repurchase program but instead are authorized under the Company’s equity compensation plans.

As part of its share repurchase program, the Company may from time-to-time enter into structured share repurchase arrangements with financial institutions using general corporate funds. Such arrangements entered into or settled during the nine months ended March 30, 2014 included the following:

Collared Accelerated Share Repurchases

During the nine months ended March 30, 2014, the Company entered into a collared accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) transaction under a master repurchase arrangement. Under the ASR, the Company made an up-front cash payment of $75 million, in exchange for an initial delivery of 1.2 million shares of its Common Stock and a subsequent delivery of 0.3 million shares following the initial hedge period.

The number of shares to ultimately be repurchased by the Company is based generally on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR minus a pre-determined discount set at inception of the ASR, subject to collar provisions that provide a minimum and maximum number of shares that the Company could repurchase under the agreements. The minimum and maximum thresholds for the transaction were established based on the average of the VWAP prices for the Common Stock during an initial hedge period. The ASR was scheduled to end at any time after September 27, 2013 and on or before November 27, 2013. At the conclusion of the ASR, the Company may receive additional shares based on the VWAP of the Common Stock during the term of the agreement minus the pre-determined fixed discount, however, the total number of shares received under the ASR would not exceed the maximum of 1.7 million shares.

The counterparty designated October 28, 2013 as the termination date, at which time the Company settled the ASR. No additional shares were received at final settlement, which represented a weighted-average share price of approximately $50.40 for the transaction period.

The Company accounted for the ASR as two separate transactions: (a) as shares of Common Stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction recorded on the acquisition date and (b) as a forward contract indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. As such, the Company accounted for the shares that it received under the ASR as a repurchase of its Common Stock for the purpose of calculating earnings per common share. The Company has determined that the forward contract indexed to the Common Stock met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, and, therefore, the ASR was not accounted for as a derivative instrument. As of March 30, 2014, the aggregate repurchase price of $75 million was reflected as Treasury stock, at cost, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
