SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT

SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

In August 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a $150.0 million increase to our existing share repurchase program resulting in total authorizations of $4.3 billion. In September 2016, we entered into a $300.0 million accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”). Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, we paid BofA $300.0 million in cash, and on September 26, 2016, we received an initial delivery of approximately 4.6 million shares of common stock. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we received approximately 483,000 shares for a then-current total of 5.1 million shares received under the ASR Agreement. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we received approximately 846,000 shares of our common stock from BofA in full and final settlement of the ASR Agreement, bringing the total shares received to 5.9 million. The accelerated share repurchase transaction qualifies for equity accounting treatment. Shares that have been paid for but not yet delivered are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital while other repurchased common stock is reflected as an increase in treasury stock within shareholders’ deficit. We also repurchased approximately 1.0 million additional shares of common stock for a total of 6.1 million shares repurchased during the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 for $350.0 million. The repurchased shares included shares purchased as part of our share repurchase program and shares repurchased to satisfy team member tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted shares. As of December 28, 2016, approximately $135.8 million was available under our share repurchase authorizations. Our stock repurchase plan has been and will be used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards. We evaluate potential share repurchases under our plan based on several factors, including our cash position, share price, operational liquidity, proceeds from divestitures, borrowings, and planned investment and financing needs.

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2017, we granted approximately 492,000 stock options with a weighted average exercise price per share of $54.20 and a weighted average fair value per share of $9.63, and approximately 216,000 restricted share awards with a weighted average fair value per share of $54.27. Additionally, during the first two quarters of fiscal 2017, approximately 142,000 stock options were exercised resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. We received an excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of approximately $1.2 million, net of a $0.5 million tax deficiency, during the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 primarily as a result of the vesting and distribution of restricted stock grants and performance shares and stock option exercises. The excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation represents the additional income tax benefit received resulting from the increase in the fair value of awards from the time of grant to the exercise date.

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2017, we paid dividends of $36.9 million to common stock shareholders, compared to $37.4 million in the prior year. Additionally, our Board of Directors approved a 6.25% increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.32 to $0.34 per share effective with the dividend declared in August 2016. We also declared a quarterly dividend of $16.9 million in November 2016 which was paid on December 29, 2016. The dividend accrual was included in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2016.
