record of our Common Shares.
We anticipate that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the
future. The payment and amount of future dividends remain, however,
within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our
future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.
Performance Graphs
In the past we have presented line graphs comparing the cumulative total
return of our Common Shares with the cumulative total return of the
Standard & Poor’s Composite—500 Stock Index (the "S&P 500 Index")
and the Value Line Healthcare Sector Index (the "Value Line Healthcare
Sector Index"), an independently prepared index that includes more than
100 companies in the healthcare industry. This year we have also included
a comparison against the Standard & Poor's Composite—500 Healthcare
Index (the "S&P 500 Healthcare Index"), an independently prepared index
that includes more than 50 companies in the healthcare industry. Next
year we do not intend to include the Value Line Healthcare Index in our
comparison of cumulative total return. We are changing to the S&P 500
Healthcare Index because we believe it to be a more commonly used
index by large healthcare companies.
Five Year Performance Graph
The following graph assumes, in each case, an initial investment of $100
on June 30, 2007, based on the market prices at the end of each fiscal
year through and including June 30, 2012, and reinvestment of dividends.
The Value Line Healthcare Sector Index, the S&P 500 Healthcare Index
and the S&P 500 Index investments are weighted on the basis of market
capitalization at the beginning of each period. We have adjusted the market
price of our Common Shares prior to August 31, 2009 to reflect the Spin-
Off of CareFusion on August 31, 2009.
