On May 14, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized us to acquire up to
$1 billion of our common stock. We expect to complete the program by the end of fiscal 2017. We expect to fund the
program with available cash on hand and repurchase shares on the open market, through solicited or unsolicited privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise from time to time based on market conditions and other factors.
During fiscal 2015, we repurchased 7.2 million shares of our common stock for $215 million. At March 31, 2015, we
remained authorized to purchase $785 million of our common stock under our current stock repurchase program.
During fiscal 2014, we repurchased 16.3 million shares of our common stock for $505 million, which completed our previous
stock repurchase program.
During fiscal 2013, we completed an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreement with a bank to repurchase
$500 million of our common stock, which was entered into during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2013, we received 3.7 million additional shares and, as a result, the initial amount recorded as additional paid-in
capital of $125 million was reclassified to treasury stock. The final number of shares delivered upon settlement of the
agreement was determined based on the average price of our common stock over the term of the ASR agreement.
