SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM
SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On November 21, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2013 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 22, 2013, the Company may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2013 Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 21, 2014 or at such time as the Company completes its purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements and applicable law. The securities to be repurchased will be funded using our cash resources.
On November 19, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2012 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 15, 2012, the Company could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2012 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 14, 2013.
Share Repurchases
No common shares were repurchased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 507,957 of its common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $35.7 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the common shares repurchased of $25.8 million was charged to the accumulated deficit. These common shares were subsequently cancelled.
Total Repurchases under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not made any purchases of our senior notes or common shares under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.
Additional Repurchases outside the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program
In addition to the repurchases made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased an additional 217,294 of its common shares on behalf of certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors, in connection with the share settlement of certain deferred stock units and restricted stock units held by such directors following the termination of the applicable equity program. These common shares were subsequently transferred to such directors. These common shares were repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $19.9 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the common shares repurchased of $15.6 million was charged to the accumulated deficit. As the common shares were repurchased on behalf of certain of the Company’s directors, these repurchases were not made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program.
