During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock pursuant to existing stock purchase authorizations for a total of approximately $129 million. On February 26, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $1,500 million in authorization to purchase its common stock. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had $1,903 million of authorization remaining under its share repurchase program. The Company may continue or, from time to time, suspend repurchases of shares under its share repurchase program, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital and other factors.
The Company entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions on May 6, 2016 providing for revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500 million (which may be increased to $1,750 million at the option of the Company, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to provide commitments for such additional financing) outstanding at any particular time. This agreement is set to expire May 6, 2021 and replaces the prior agreement which was set to expire May 10, 2018.
