(a)Represents the remainder of a $200.0 authorization after giving effect to the purchase of 5,199,699 shares at $30.00 per share
pursuant to a large share repurchase in the form of a modified Dutch auction tender offer that was completed by the Company
on November 3, 2010 for a total cost of $156.0, excluding related fees and expenses.

On July 22, 2015, the Board authorized an additional $50.0 for the share buy-back program, to be funded with available cash. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares on the open market for approximately $14.4 at an average cost of $34.75 per share. The Company’s repurchase program may be suspended at any time without prior notice.

On December 16, 2015, the Board approved another modified Dutch Auction tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase for cash up to $200.0 in value of the Company's shares of Common Stock, par value, $.01 per share, at a price range to be determined. The Offer was commenced on December 28, 2015 with a price range for prices specified by tendering stockholders of not greater than $40.00 per share or less than $37.00 per share of Common Stock. On January 21, 2016, the Company terminated the Offer because of a decrease of more than 10% in a number of major United States stock indices following the commencement of the Offer on December 28, 2015. One of the conditions of the Offer provided the Company with the right in its discretion to terminate the Offer in the event of a decrease of more than 10%, at any time prior to the expiration of the Offer, in the market price for the Common Shares or in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, New York Stock Exchange Index, NASDAQ Composite Index or the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Index measured from the close of trading on December 28, 2015.
