Common Stock Repurchase	Common Stock Repurchase The Company’s common stock repurchase program has been in place since August 2004. In the aggregate, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase $6.2 billion of the Company’s common stock under the program. The Company may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when the Company has repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of July 30, 2016, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 147.0 million shares of its common stock for approximately $5.4 billion under this program. As of July 30, 2016, an additional $792.5 million remains available for repurchase of shares under the current authorized program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company also, from time to time, repurchases shares in settlement of employee minimum tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units. The withholding amount is based on the employee's minimum statutory withholding requirement. Any future common stock repurchases will be dependent upon several factors, including the Company's financial performance, outlook, liquidity and the amount of cash the Company has available in the United States. As a result of the Company's planned acquisition of Linear Technology Corporation (see Note 15, Acquisitions), the Company temporarily suspended the common stock repurchase plan in the third quarter of 2016.
