Includes the cash settlement payment on treasury lock contracts associated with bridge financing for the SunGard acquisition. This amount will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the ten years in which the related interest payments that were hedged are recognized in income.

The amount reclassified from AOCE for interest rate derivative contracts includes $8 million recorded as interest expense, reduced by a related $3 million provision for income taxes. See Note 12 for the tax provision associated with each component of other comprehensive income.
Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has approved a series of plans authorizing repurchases of our common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, the most current of which on January 29, 2014, authorized repurchases of up to $2.0 billion through December 31, 2017. This share repurchase authorization replaced any existing share repurchase authorization plan. Approximately $1,224 million of plan capacity remained available for repurchases as of December 31, 2016.

The table below summarizes annual share repurchase activity under these plans (in millions, except per share amounts):
