On August 4, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share buy-back program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “2010 Repurchase Program”). The 2010 Repurchase Program is in addition to the share buy-back program announced February 21, 2007, under which approximately 1.9 million shares remain available for repurchase (the “2007 Repurchase Program” and collectively with the 2010 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). The Repurchase Programs authorize the Company to repurchase shares through open market, privately negotiated, or other transactions.
