Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program ("2011 Program") and terminated a previously existing program. The 2011 Program authorized the Company to repurchase up to $400,000,000 of its Common Stock through open market or private transactions. The timing of repurchases and the actual number of shares to be repurchased depended on a variety of discretionary factors such as stock price, cash-flow forecasts and other market conditions. The Company suspended share repurchases during the second quarter of 2012. In January 2013, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of the 2011 Program to January 31, 2014. The 2011 Program expired on January 31, 2014.

The Company's share repurchase activity was as follows:

Purchases are discretionary and will be made from time to time based on market conditions and the Company's liquidity needs. The program will expire on March 31, 2017.
