COMMON STOCK

The Board of Directors has authorized several programs to repurchase our common stock from time to time in open market transactions.  We repurchased 1.2 million shares of our common stock during 2013 for $14.5 million, 4.2 million shares of our common stock during 2012 for $44.0 million and 7.2 million shares of our common stock during 2011 for $78.0 million.  As of December 31, 2013, $156.9 million of Board authorized repurchases was still available.  However, under the Merger Agreement, we are prohibited from repurchasing any additional common stock until the effective time of the Merger (or the termination of the Merger Agreement).
