(1) The reported periods conform to the Company’s fiscal calendar composed of thirteen 28-day periods.
The fourth quarter of 2010 contained three 28-day periods.
(2) Shares were repurchased under (i) a $500 million stock repurchase program, authorized by the Board
of Directors on June 24, 2010, and (ii) a program announced on December 6, 1999, to repurchase
common stock to reduce dilution resulting from our employee stock option and long-term incentive
plans, which program is limited to proceeds received from exercises of stock options and the tax
benefits associated therewith. The programs have no expiration date but may be terminated by the
Board of Directors at any time. Total shares purchased include shares that were surrendered to the
Company by participants under the Company’s long-term incentive plans to pay for taxes on restricted
stock awards.
(3) Amounts shown in this column reflect amounts remaining under the $500 million stock repurchase
program referenced in clause (i) of Note 2 above. Amounts to be invested under the program utilizing
option exercise proceeds are dependent upon option exercise activity. On March 3, 2011, the Board
of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion stock repurchase program.
