(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company did not repurchase any of its Common Shares
under either of its two then-outstanding repurchase programs. The Company announced a $2.0 billion share
repurchase program on August 8, 2007. This repurchase authorization expires on August 31, 2009. At
June 30, 2008, approximately $1.3 billion remains from this repurchase authorization. In addition to the $2.0
billion repurchase authorization, the Company also had a $4.5 billion combined repurchase authorization
which was first announced July 11, 2006 and most recently amended on January 31, 2007. This repurchase
authorization expired on June 30, 2008 with approximately $406.0 million remaining unused.
The following line graph compares the cumulative total return of the Company’s Common Shares with the
cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor’s Composite—500 Stock Index and the Value Line Health Care
Sector Index, an independently prepared index which includes more than 100 companies in the health care
industry (the “Value Line Health Care Index” or “Peer Group”). The graph assumes, in each case, an initial
investment of $100 on June 30, 2003 based on the market prices at the end of each fiscal year through and
including June 30, 2008, with the Value Line Health Care Index investment weighted on the basis of market
capitalization at the beginning of each such fiscal year, and assuming reinvestment of dividends (and taking into
account all stock splits during such periods).
