Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity	13. Stockholders' Equity *Common Stock Repurchase Program* In November 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million (the "Repurchase Program") and terminated the $50.0 million stock repurchase program authorized in February 2009. Also in November 2009, we entered into a collared stock buyback master confirmation agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs"). Through December 31, 2010, we repurchased and retired approximately 6,633,680 shares of our common stock with a value equivalent to approximately $290.6 million at the time of repurchase under the Repurchase Program, including a $250.0 million accelerated stock buyback transaction pursuant to a supplemental confirmation under the Master Agreement. As of December 31, 2010, a balance of $209.4 million remained available under the Repurchase Program to fund stock repurchases by the Company. On March 2, 2011, we entered into a supplemental confirmation with Goldman Sachs for a $209.4 million accelerated stock buyback (the "2011 ASB"), pursuant to the Master Agreement. On March 7, 2011, we paid $209.4 million to Goldman Sachs using available cash on hand and received a majority of the shares of FTI Consulting common stock, representing 4,433,671 shares, expected to be delivered in the 2011 ASB. On May 17, 2011, FTI Consulting received additional shares bringing the total number of shares of our common stock delivered in the 2011 ASB to 5,061,558 shares of FTI Consulting common stock. The specific number of shares that ultimately will be repurchased in the 2011 ASB will be based generally on the volume-weighted average share price of our common stock during the term of the repurchase agreement, subject to provisions that establish minimum and maximum numbers of shares. The 2011 ASB contemplates that final settlement may occur in December 2011, although under certain circumstances, at Goldman Sachs' discretion, the completion date may be accelerated. At settlement, we may be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock from Goldman Sachs. This transaction was accounted for as two separate transactions, a share repurchase and a forward contract indexed to our own stock. The repurchase of shares was accounted for as a share retirement resulting in a reduction of common stock issued and outstanding of 5,061,558 shares and a corresponding reduction in common stock and additional paid-in capital of $209.4 million. Any additional shares received will be accounted for as a share retirement in the period(s) in which the shares are received. The 2011 ASB completes the Repurchase Program. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the forward contract was anti-dilutive as the forward contract represented a contingent number of shares that could be delivered to FTI Consulting by the investment bank. As the shares were anti-dilutive, their impact was not considered in the computation of earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 in accordance with the guidance of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Additional shares that may be received before the final settlement date in December 2011 will be considered in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding used for the calculation of earnings per share after delivery to FTI Consulting.
