Share Repurchase Program and Dividend Declaration

In October 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program to be completed by the end of 2016. Share repurchases under the program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.

Also in October 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a $0.10 per share dividend for shareholders of record on November 5, 2015, and payable on November 19, 2015. Any future dividends that may be declared and paid from time to time under the Company’s capital deployment program will be subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The Company’s capital deployment program does not obligate it to continue a dividend for any fixed period, and payment of dividends may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.
