For the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, 2.5 million and 5.0 million options granted to purchase shares of Cintas common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock (anti-dilutive). On October 26, 2010, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500.0 million share buyback program at market prices. We completed the October 26, 2010 share buyback program by purchasing 8.1 million shares of Cintas common stock in June and July 2011 for an aggregate purchase price of $259.5 million. From the inception of the October 26, 2010 share buyback program through July 29, 2011, Cintas purchased a total of 15.8 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $31.70 per share for a total purchase price of $500.0 million.
