* These amounts represent both shares authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase under a publicly announced plan,
as described below, as well as shares withheld from employees to cover tax withholding obligations on restricted stock units
that have vested.
** On October 30, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized $550 million of common stock repurchases through December 31,
2013, of which $393.6 million remains available as of December 31, 2012. Management has historically and may continue
to establish prearranged written plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. A Rule 10b5-1 plan permits us to repurchase shares at times
when we may otherwise be unable to do so, provided the plan is adopted when we are not aware of material non-public
information.
