For the six months ended June 30, 2013, NPC and SPPC paid dividends to NVE of $80.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. Treasury Stock NVE periodically repurchases common stock on the open market for the purpose of meeting the requirements of its stock compensation plans; such purchases were not made pursuant to a publicly announced stock repurchase plan or program. All shares repurchased are held as treasury stock and may be reissued upon exercise or settlement of the stock compensation award. Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, NVE repurchased 325,178 shares of common stock for approximately $6.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, NVE re-issued 792,946 treasury shares to satisfy employee benefit plans.
