Stock Repurchase Program

During fiscal year 2006, we announced share repurchase authorizations totaling $1.25 billion of which all have been used. During the first quarter of 2007 there were no share repurchases. During the second quarter of 2007, we repurchased 11 million shares for approximately $200 million. In addition, in August 2007, we announced that our board of directors had authorized an additional $1.5 billion for our ongoing share repurchase program, underscoring our commitment to return excess cash to shareholders. With this announcement, our share repurchase authorizations total $5.75 billion since October 2004. In connection with this authorization, we also entered into purchase agreements with individual members of the Fisher family whose ownership represented approximately 17 percent of the Company’s outstanding shares at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. Multiple Fisher family members and entities owned approximately 34 percent of our outstanding shares at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. We expect that approximately $250 million (approximately 17 percent) of the $1.5 billion share repurchase program will be purchased from Fisher family members under the agreements. The shares will be purchased each month at the same weighted average market price that we are paying for share repurchases in the open market. The purchase agreements may be terminated upon 15 business days notice by the Company or individual Fisher family members.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the first fiscal quarter of 2006, we repurchased approximately 22 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $389 million, at an average price per share of $17.91 including commissions.

Differences between cash used in financing activities related to repurchase of common stock and the comparable change in shareholders’ equity are due to the timing difference between the recognition of common stock repurchases and the cash settlement of the common stock repurchases.
