Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt – During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded a charge of $10.4 related to the redemption of our 6.25% Notes. See Note 2 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Sales of Businesses and Investments – During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized gains from the sale of a business within our IAN segment and the sale of investments in Rabbi Trusts. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the gains on sales of businesses and investments primarily related to a gain recognized from the sale of marketable securities in the Asia Pacific region within our IAN segment. Vendor Discounts and Credit Adjustments – In connection with the liabilities related to vendor discounts and credits established as part of the restatement we presented in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, these adjustments reflect the reversal of certain of these liabilities primarily where the statute of limitations has lapsed, or as a result of differences resulting from settlements with clients or vendors. Other (Expense) Income, net – During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate in the Asia Pacific region within our IAN segment. During the second quarter of 2013, other income, net primarily included a non-cash gain on re-measurement to fair value of an equity interest in an affiliate, located in the Asia Pacific region within our CMG segment, upon acquiring a controlling interest. Share Repurchase Program In February 2013, our Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0, excluding fees, of our common stock (the "2013 Share Repurchase Program"). In March 2013, the Board authorized an increase in the amount available under our 2013 Share Repurchase Program up to $500.0, excluding fees, of our common stock to be used towards the repurchase of shares resulting from the conversion to common stock of the 4.75% Notes. In February 2014, our Board authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0, excluding fees, of our common stock (the "2014 Share Repurchase Program"). We may effect such repurchases through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, derivative transactions or other means. We expect to continue to repurchase our common stock in future periods, although the timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other funding requirements. The following table presents our share repurchase activity under our 2013 and 2014 Share Repurchase Programs for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013.
