(1) Our Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A common
stock. On November 1, 2011, our Board of Directors extended the plan and authorized an increase in the
maximum dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the plan, such that we are currently authorized
to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding shares of our Class A common stock through and including
December 31, 2012. Purchases under our repurchase program may be made through open market purchases,
privately negotiated transactions, or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to market conditions and other factors.
We may elect not to purchase the maximum amount of shares allowable under this program and we may also
enter into additional share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors.
