Stock Repurchase Program
 
On November 22, 2013 we announced that our board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, upon the conclusion of the company's previous $1 billion repurchase program. The program was designed to reduce or eliminate dilution resulting from issuance of stock under the company's employee equity incentive programs to target maintaining a weighted average share count of approximately 335 million diluted shares. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, we repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares for $98 million, which completed the purchases under this authorization.

On May 28, 2015 we announced that our board of directors had approved a new share repurchase program (the "2015 repurchase program"). The 2015 repurchase program authorizes the purchase of up to $1.14 billion of our common stock through and including November 1, 2018. The 2015 repurchase program does not require the company to acquire a specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended January 31, 2017, we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares for $111 million under this authorization. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares for $102 million under this authorization. As of January 31, 2017, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $693 million of our common stock under this program.

In the first quarter of 2017, we retired 292.5 million treasury shares at an aggregate cost of $10.6 billion, which represents all our previously repurchased shares over the past 11 years and our repurchases made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The retirement of our treasury shares resulted in a decrease of $6.7 billion to retained earnings and a decrease of $3.9 billion to additional paid-in-capital.

 
Cash Dividends on Shares of Common Stock
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2017, we paid cash dividends of $0.132 per common share or $42 million on the company's common stock. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, we paid cash dividends of $0.115 per common share or $38 million on the company's common stock.

The timing and amounts of any future dividends are subject to determination and approval by our board of directors.
