 Subsequent Events

In February 2017, 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 "2017 Share Repurchase Program"). The authorization for repurchases under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program is in addition to any amounts remaining for repurchase under the 2016 Share Repurchase Program. See Note 5 for further information on the 2016 Share Repurchase Program. There is no expiration date associated with the share repurchase programs. We may effect such repurchases through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, derivative transactions or other means. We expect to continue to repurchase our common stock in future periods, although the timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other funding requirements.

We also announced in February 2017 that our Board had declared a common stock cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on March 15, 2017 to holders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2017.
