1The total number of shares purchased includes (i) shares purchased pursuant to the 1996 Plan prior to October 31, 2006
and pursuant to the 2006 Plan thereafter (the 1996 Plan and 2006 Plan are described in footnote 2 below); and (ii) shares
surrendered to the Company to pay the exercise price and/or to satisfy 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, of which
there were none for the months of October, November and December 2006.
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 authorized for purchase under a previous plan, which shares had not been
purchased by the Company as of October 16, 1996, but were purchased by the Company prior to the commencement of
purchases under the 1996 Plan in 1998. On July 20, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase
program (the ‘‘2006 Plan’’) of up to 300 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2006 Plan took effect upon
the expiration of the 1996 Plan. This column discloses the number of shares purchased pursuant to the 1996 Plan prior to
October 31, 2006 and pursuant to the 2006 Plan thereafter.
3Shares authorized for purchase under the 1996 Plan but not purchased prior to its expiration were not carried over to the
2006 Plan.
