There were no common shares repurchased by the Company during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. During the first semester of fiscal 2013, the Company completed each of the $100.0 million share repurchase programs approved by the Board of Directors in May 2012 and November 2011. In conjunction with the Company’s share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans were executed that instruct the brokers selected by the Company to repurchase shares on behalf of the Company. The amount of common stock repurchased in accordance with the 10b5-1 plans on any given trading day is determined by a formula in the plan, which is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and benefit plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.
