Lear Corporation Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program

On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated stock repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $800 million of the Company's common stock. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company paid $800 million to the financial institution, using cash on-hand, and received an initial delivery of 11,862,836 shares. This initial share delivery represented 80% of the ASR transaction’s value at the then-current price of $53.95 per share. These shares have been included in common stock held in treasury as of the applicable delivery date. The ultimate number of shares repurchased and the final price paid per share under the ASR transaction was determined based on the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less an agreed upon discount. On March 31, 2014, the ASR agreement ended, and the initial delivery of 11,862,836 shares under the ASR transaction exceeded the ultimate number of shares repurchased by 658,903 shares. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, the Company had the contractual right to deliver either shares or cash equal to the value of those shares to the financial institution. The Company elected to settle the ASR transaction in cash and as a result, paid $55.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. Inclusive of the settlement, 11,862,836 shares were repurchased under the ASR transaction for $855.5 million, or an average price of $72.11 per share.

In the first nine months of 2014, the Company paid $259.4 million in aggregate for repurchases of its common stock, including $203.9 million of open market repurchases (2,181,095 shares at an average purchase price of $93.47 per share, excluding commissions) and $55.5 million to settle the ASR transaction. The Company has a remaining repurchase authorization of $490.6 million under its ongoing common stock share repurchase program, which will expire in April 2016. The Company may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company will repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. In addition, the Company’s amended and restated credit facility and the indenture governing the 2020 Notes place certain limitations on the Company’s ability to repurchase its common shares.

As of the date of this Report, the Company has paid $1.8 billion in aggregate for repurchases of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $60.21 per share excluding commissions and related fees, since the first quarter of 2011.

In addition to shares repurchased under the Company’s common stock share repurchase program described above, the Company classified shares withheld from the settlement of the Company’s restricted stock unit and performance share awards to cover minimum tax withholding requirements as common stock held in treasury in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Quarterly Dividend

In the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.20 and $0.17 per share of common stock, respectively. In the first nine months of 2014, dividends declared totaled $50.7 million, and dividends paid totaled $49.6 million. In the first nine months of 2013, dividends declared and paid totaled $44.8 million. Dividends payable on common shares to be distributed under the Company’s stock-based compensation program and common shares contemplated as part of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be paid when such common shares are distributed.

Noncontrolling Interests

In the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the Company acquired noncontrolling interests in certain of its consolidated subsidiaries. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company sold its controlling interest in a less than wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. There was no significant gain or loss recognized in connection with this transaction.
