SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
On September 17, 2013, the Company entered into two $500.0 million variable maturity accelerated share repurchase agreements to repurchase $1.0 billion of the Company’s common shares in the aggregate. One agreement is collared and the other is uncollared.
The number of shares to be received by the Company under the collared agreement is determined based on the weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock, less a discount, during a calculation period ending on or before June 2014, subject to a minimum and maximum number of shares. Under this agreement, the Company received 7.8 million shares during the year ended February 1, 2014. This represents the minimum number of shares to be received based on a calculation using the "cap" or high-end of the price range of the "collar". On May 15, 2014 the collared agreement concluded and the Company received an additional 1.2 million shares resulting in a total of 9.0 million shares repurchased under this agreement.
The number of shares received by the Company under the uncollared agreement was determined based on the weighted average market price of the Company's common stock, less a discount, during a calculation period ending on or before June 2014. The Company received an initial delivery of 7.2 million shares during the year ended February 1, 2014. On February 14, 2014 the uncollared agreement concluded and the Company received an additional 1.9 million shares during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 resulting in a total of 9.1 million shares repurchased under this agreement.
During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock on the open market. As of May 3, 2014, the Company has $1.0 billion remaining under Board repurchase authorization.
