million through November 1, 2013. On November 15, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase
program whereby the Company may repurchase an amount of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company up to
an aggregate amount of $300 million through December 31, 2014. This repurchase program is in addition to, and does not
supersede or modify, the Company’s previously authorized program. Under the repurchase programs, purchases can be
made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases and purchases through a
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, all in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal
requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic
conditions and market conditions, and other considerations. The repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to
acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s
discretion.
