tax withholding obligations in connection with so-called ‘‘stock swap exercises’’ of employee stock options and/or the
vesting of restricted stock issued to employees, totaling 96,137 shares, 0 shares and 84,690 shares, respectively, for the
months of October, November and December 2004.
2On October 17, 1996, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a plan (the ‘‘1996 Plan’’) for the
Company to purchase up to 206 million shares of the Company’s common stock prior to October 31, 2006. This was in
addition to approximately 44 million shares, previously authorized for purchase prior to December 31, 2000, that had not
been purchased by the Company as of October 16, 1996 but that were purchased by the Company prior to the
commencement of purchases under the 1996 Plan in 1998. This column discloses the number of shares purchased
pursuant to the 1996 Plan during the indicated time periods.
This table excludes restricted stock forfeitures and shares withheld in connection with so-called ‘‘cashless
exercises’’ of employee stock options.
