CAPITAL STOCK

On October 27, 2006, a three-year $1 billion share repurchase program was approved by our Board of Directors. On December 16, 2008, the provisions of the share repurchase program were modified by our Board of Directors to replace the original three-year term with an indefinite term. During the first quarter of 2012, we repurchased 2.15 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $49 to offset the dilution caused by recent exercises of employee stock options. We have recorded a $13 liability for 0.6 share repurchases that did not settle prior to March 31, 2012 which is included in the aggregate cost. To date under the $1 billion share repurchase program, the Company has repurchased 5.7 shares for $480, including commissions.

Separate from the $1 billion share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 0.1 shares and 0.1 shares for an aggregate price of $2 and $5, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock or stock units during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
