Dividends
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will be subject to, among other things, general business conditions within the disk drive industry,
our financial results, the impact of paying dividends on our credit ratings and legal and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends by
our subsidiaries to us or by us to our ordinary shareholders, including restrictions imposed by covenants on our debt instruments.
The following were dividends paid in the last two fiscal years:
From the closing of our initial public offering in December 2002 through 2014, we have paid dividends, pursuant to our dividend policy
then in effect, totaling approximately $2.5 billion in the aggregate.
Repurchases of Our Equity Securities
All repurchases are effected as redemptions in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association. There is no expiration date on this
authorization.
On July 24, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase $2.5 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares. As of
June 27, 2014, $1.5 billion remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization limit.
The following table sets forth information with respect to all repurchases of our shares made during the fiscal year ended June 27, 2014:
