On November 17, 2010, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley") to repurchase $1.0 billion of Kohl's common stock on an accelerated basis. This accelerated share repurchase was part of the $2.5 billion share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in September 2007.

We received a total of 18.8 million shares under the program: 12.6 million shares on November 18, 2010, 3.8 million shares on December 7, 2010, 1.5 million on January 11, 2011, and a final delivery of 0.9 million shares on March 3, 2011. The total number of shares received was generally determined by the discounted average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares traded during the relevant pricing periods.
