Stockholders' Equity

In 2009, the Company's stockholders approved the 2009 Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) and the reservation of 7.5 million shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, which was subsequently increased to 16.4 million shares. The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and performance shares. The per share exercise price for shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an option must be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

Upon approval of the 2009 Plan, all of the Company's other stock plans were terminated as to future grants. Although these plans have been terminated, they will continue to govern all awards granted under them until the expiration of the awards.

As of September 28, 2013, an aggregate of 14.8 million shares were authorized for future issuance under the Company's stock plans, of which 11.3 million of such shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and delivery of shares upon vesting of restricted stock units and 3.5 million shares of common stock were available for future grant. Awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights reduce common stock available for grant by 1.36 shares for every share of common stock subject to such an award. Awards under the 2009 plan that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the plan.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of the Company's common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions off the market. The common stock repurchase program has no expiration date and no purchases have been made through September 28, 2013.

Stock option activity under the Company's option plans during 2013, 2012 and 2011 is disclosed in Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation.
