In February 2013, we announced the exercise of the Company's option to redeem for cash all remaining 4.75% Notes outstanding on the redemption date, which will be March 15, 2013. Under the terms of the 4.75% Notes, as a result of the exercise of our redemption option, holders may elect to convert their 4.75% Notes into common stock at any time prior to the redemption date. The maximum aggregate redemption price will be the $200.0 in aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. See Note 2 for further information on the 4.75% Notes.

Additionally, in February 2013, we announced that our Board had approved a new share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0, excluding fees, of our common stock (the "2013 share repurchase program"). The authorization for repurchases under the 2013 share repurchase program is in addition to any amounts remaining available for repurchase under the 2012 share repurchase program. See Note 5 for further information on the 2012 share repurchase program. We may effect such repurchases under the 2013 share repurchase program through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, derivative transactions or other means. The timing and amount of repurchases under the authorization will depend on market conditions and other funding requirements. There is no expiration date associated with the share repurchase programs.

We also announced in February 2013, that our Board had declared a common stock cash dividend of $0.075 per share, payable on March 25, 2013 to holders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2013.
