On September 13, 2001, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program. As of July 25,
2015, our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $97 billion of common stock under this program. During
fiscal 2015, we repurchased and retired 155 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $27.22 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $4.2 billion. As of July 25, 2015, we had repurchased and retired 4.4 billion shares of our common
stock at an average price of $20.86 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $92.7 billion since inception of the stock
repurchase program, and the remaining authorized amount for stock repurchases under this program was $4.3 billion with no
termination date.
For the majority of restricted stock units granted, the number of shares issued on the date the restricted stock units vest is net of
shares withheld to meet applicable tax withholding requirements. Although these withheld shares are not issued or considered
common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program and therefore are not included in the preceding table, they are
treated as common stock repurchases in our financial statements as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued
upon vesting (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
