Since the closing of our initial public offering in December 2002, we have paid dividends, pursuant to our quarterly dividend policy
totaling approximately $820 million in the aggregate. The following are dividends paid in the last two fiscal years:
Because we had current earnings and profits in excess of distributions for our taxable year ended June 27, 2008, distributions on our
common shares to U.S. shareholders during this period were treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We anticipate that
we will have earnings and profits in excess of distributions in fiscal year 2009. Therefore, distributions to U.S. shareholders in fiscal year 2009
are anticipated to be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Non-
U.S. shareholders should consult with a tax advisor to
determine appropriate tax treatment.
