Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $1 billion in share repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock. CSC has been implementing the program through purchases in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, market conditions, and applicable federal and state legal requirements. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No end date was established for the repurchase program.

During fiscal 2014, 9,773,469 shares were purchased through open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $505 million at a weighted average price of $51.65 per share. Of the aggregate consideration of $505 million, $6 million was recorded as an accrued liability for shares purchased but not yet settled in cash by March 28, 2014. The Company also paid $22 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 for share purchased during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 that had not yet settled as of March 29, 2013.

During fiscal 2013, 6,707,652 shares were purchased through open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $305 million at a weighted average price of $45.47 per share. Of the aggregate consideration of $305 million, $22 million was recorded as an accrued liability for shares purchased but not yet settled in cash by March 29, 2013.

During fiscal 2012, no shares were purchased through open market purchases.

The shares repurchased were retired immediately and included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. The excess of purchase price over par value of the shares repurchased was allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.
