Item 1.01

Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement
|
On August 26, 2011, the Company entered into a Supplemental Confirmation to the Master Confirmation entered into on March 22, 2011 (the “Master Confirmation,” and together with the Supplemental Confirmation, the “ASB Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”) relating to an accelerated stock buyback (“ASB”) program. Pursuant to the terms of the ASB Agreement, the Company will repurchase $150 million of its common stock from Goldman. The ASB Agreement represents the Company’s only ASB currently authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.
In connection with the ASB the Company will pay $150 million to Goldman in exchange for one or more deliveries by Goldman of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. A substantial majority of the shares owed to the Company by Goldman will be delivered to the Company on August 31, 2011. The specific number of shares that ultimately will be repurchased by the Company under the ASB will be based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASB Agreement, less an agreed discount. The Company expects the ASB to be completed early in the fourth quarter 2011, although the exact date of completion will depend on whether or when Goldman exercises an acceleration option that it has under the ASB Agreement. At settlement, the Company may be entitled to receive additional shares of common stock from Goldman or under certain circumstances may be required to issue additional shares or make a payment to Goldman at the Company’s option.
The ASB Agreement contains the principal terms and provisions governing the ASB, including, but not limited to, the mechanism used to determine the number of shares that will be delivered, the required timing of delivery of the shares, the specific circumstances under which Goldman may delay any date of valuation or settlement under the ASB (such as upon the occurrence of certain market disruptions), the specific circumstances under which Goldman is permitted to make adjustments to the terms of the ASB or to terminate the ASB (such as upon the announcement of certain fundamental transactions affecting the Company), and various acknowledgements, representations and warranties made by the Company and Goldman to one another. The Master Confirmation has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and is incorporated herein by reference.
