Share Repurchase Program and Treasury Stock On July 28, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $150.0 million share repurchase authorization. The Company plans to repurchase shares through various means, which may include but are not limited to open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, the use of derivative instruments and/or accelerated share repurchase programs. The share repurchase program was originally scheduled to expire on July 27, 2016. On February 10, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of the share repurchase authorization to $300.0 million and an extension of the expiration to February 9, 2017. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will vary and depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company’s management team. The Company reserves the right to limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time without notice. As of March 27, 2016, the Company had repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares under this program with a market value of approximately $101.9 million. The Company accounted for the shares repurchased using the cost method. Special Cash Dividends On April 27, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the declaration of a special cash dividend of $2.75 per share. The total amount of the special cash dividend payment will be approximately $700.0 million based on the current number of shares outstanding. The special cash dividend is payable on May 18, 2016, to stockholders of record on May 10, 2016. The Company intends to use proceeds from the U.S. Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, to fund the special cash dividend. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s financial position giving effect to the special cash dividend and the borrowing necessary to fund the special cash dividend as if they occurred on March 27, 2016.

The above unaudited pro forma information is based on available information and various estimates and assumptions. Management of the Company believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the unaudited pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial position that would actually have resulted if the special cash dividend had been completed as of such date or that may result in the future. On February 17, 2015, the Company paid a special cash dividend from retained earnings of approximately $1.5 billion, or $5.77 per share, to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2015. The Company used proceeds from the U.S. Credit Facility, along with cash on hand, to fund the special cash dividend. Restrictions on Dividends Both the U.S. Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the Senior Notes restrict, but do not prohibit, the Company from declaring dividends.
