Stock Repurchase Programs

In June 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $2 billion of our common stock, with no expiration from the date of authorization. The stock repurchase program is intended to offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs. The stock repurchase activity under our stock repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:
