Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
|
On June 11, 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”). Under the ASR Agreement, we agreed to repurchase $150 million of our common stock from Goldman.
On June 12, 2012, we made a $150 million payment to Goldman and repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of our common stock from Goldman, of which 80 percent of the shares were received immediately. The specific number of shares that we ultimately will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be based generally on the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock during the repurchase period, subject to other adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At settlement, under certain circumstances, Goldman may be required to deliver additional shares of our common stock to us, or, under certain circumstances, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock or may elect to make a cash payment to Goldman.
The ASR Agreement is part of our three-year stock repurchase program that was authorized by our Board of Directors on October 21, 2010, to buy up to $750 million of our common stock, subject to the limitation that purchases will not exceed $300 million in any one calendar year. Pursuant to the Board’s authorization, following this transaction and our repurchase of $300 million in 2011, an additional $300 million may yet be purchased pursuant to our three-year repurchase program, of which a maximum of $150 million of additional shares of our common stock may be purchased in 2012.
