Repurchase of Common Stock

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 7.4 million shares of its outstanding common stock at $13.45 per share in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the issuance of its 2033 Notes. The repurchases were not made pursuant to any plan or program. The total purchase price of $100.0 million was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.

        On May 21, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase shares of its common stock worth up to an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million through open market or private transactions between May 27, 2014 and June 27, 2015. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $11.37 per share. The total purchase price of $55.2 million was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.

        All common shares repurchased during fiscal 2014 have been canceled and retired.

Preferred Stock

        The Company's Board of Directors has authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock and to determine the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without the consent of the Company's stockholders. The preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to those of the holders of common stock.
