This excerpt taken from the HPQ 10-K filed Dec 17, 2009. Stock Repurchase Program HP's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions. In fiscal 2009, HP executed share repurchases of 120 million shares. Repurchases of 132 million shares were settled for $5.1 billion, which included 14 million shares repurchased in transactions that were executed in fiscal 2008 but settled in fiscal 2009. HP had approximately 2 million shares repurchased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 that will be settled in the next fiscal year. In fiscal 2008, HP completed share repurchases of approximately 230 million shares. Repurchases of approximately 216 million shares were settled for $9.6 billion, which included approximately 1 million shares repurchased in transactions that were executed in fiscal 2007 but settled in fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2007, HP completed share repurchases of approximately 209 million shares. Repurchases of approximately 210 million shares were settled for $9.1 billion, which included approximately 1 million shares repurchased in transactions that were executed in fiscal 2006 but settled in fiscal 2007. The foregoing shares repurchased and settled in fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were all open market repurchase transactions. In addition to the above transactions, HP entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (the "ASR Program") with a third-party investment bank during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Program, HP purchased 40 million shares of its common stock from the investment bank for $1.8 billion (the "Purchase Price") on March 30, 2007 (the "Purchase Date"). HP decreased its shares outstanding and reduced the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted- 132
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Note 15: Stockholders' Equity (Continued) average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS on the Purchase Date. The shares delivered to HP included shares that the investment bank borrowed from third parties. The investment bank purchased an equivalent number of shares in the open market to cover its position with respect to the borrowed shares during a contractually specified averaging period that began on the Purchase Date and ended on June 6, 2007. At the end of the averaging period, the investment bank's total purchase cost based on the volume weighted-average purchase price of HP shares during the averaging period was approximately $90 million less than the Purchase Price. Accordingly, HP had the option to either receive additional shares of HP's common stock or a cash payment in the amount of the difference from the investment bank. In June 2007, HP received approximately 2 million additional shares purchased by the investment bank in the open market with a value approximately equal to that amount. HP reduced its shares outstanding upon receipt of those shares. Also, HP entered into a prepaid variable share purchase program ("PVSPP") with a third-party investment bank during the first quarter of 2006 and prepaid approximately $1.7 billion in exchange for the right to receive a variable number of shares of its common stock weekly over a one-year period beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and ending during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Under the PVSPP, the prices at which HP purchased the shares were subject to a minimum and maximum price that was determined in advance of any repurchases being completed under the program, thereby effectively hedging HP's repurchase price. The minimum and maximum number of shares HP could receive under the program was 52 million shares and 70 million shares, respectively. The exact number of shares to be repurchased was based upon the volume weighted-average market price of HP's shares during each weekly settlement period, subject to the minimum and maximum price as well as regulatory limitations on the number of shares HP was permitted to repurchase. HP decreased its shares outstanding each settlement period as shares were physically received. HP completed all repurchases under the PVSPP on March 9, 2007. As of that date, HP had cumulatively received a total of 53 million shares. In fiscal 2009, there was no additional authorization for future share repurchases by HP's Board of Directors. In fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional $16.0 billion and $8.0 billion for future share repurchases, respectively. As of October 31, 2009, HP had remaining authorization of approximately $4.0 billion for future share repurchases under the $8.0 billion repurchase authorization approved by HP's Board of Directors on September 19, 2008. On November 19, 2009, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional $8.0 billion for future share repurchases. 133
