Stock Repurchase Program:

During 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.7 billion of our Common Stock. On March 12, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of 40 million shares or $1.2 billion of our Common Stock through March 12, 2016. On August 6, 2013, our Audit Committee, with authorization from the Board of Directors, increased the repurchase program capacity to $6.0 billion of Common Stock repurchases and extended the expiration date to December 31, 2016. On December 3, 2013, our Board of Directors increased the repurchase program capacity by $1.7 billion to $7.7 billion.

Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. During 2013, we repurchased 82.8 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $33.09 per share, or an aggregate cost of $2.7 billion. The share repurchases include $1.5 billion of shares repurchased through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program initiated on December 3, 2013. On December 3, 2013, we paid $1.7 billion and received an initial delivery of 44.8 million shares of Common Stock valued at $1.5 billion. We increased treasury stock by $1.5 billion and the remaining $0.2 billion was recorded against additional paid in capital until the final share repurchases are settled by the end of the second quarter of 2014. The total aggregate number of shares to be repurchased through the ASR program will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the purchase period less a fixed per share discount. All share repurchases in 2013 were funded through available cash, including cash from the resolution of the Starbucks arbitration, and commercial paper. The repurchased shares are held in treasury. As of December 31, 2013, we have $5.0 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.
