This excerpt taken from the IBM 10-Q filed Oct 28, 2008. 7. Accelerated Share
Repurchase: In May 2007, IBM International Group
(IIG), a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the company repurchased 118.8
million shares of common stock for $12.5 billion under accelerated share
repurchase (ASR) agreements with three banks.
Pursuant to the ASR agreements, executed on May 25, 2007, IIG paid an initial purchase price of $105.18 per share for the repurchase. The initial purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of IBM common stock over a settlement period of three months for each of the banks. The adjustment also reflected certain other amounts including the banks carrying costs, compensation for ordinary dividends declared by the company during the settlement period and interest benefits for receiving the $12.5 billion payment in advance of the anticipated purchases by each bank of shares in the open market during its settlement period. The adjustment amount could be settled in cash, registered shares or unregistered shares at IIGs option. Under the ASR, IIG had a separate settlement with each of the three banks. The first settlement occurred on September 6, 2007, resulting in a settlement payment to the bank of $151.8 million. The second settlement occurred on December 5, 2007, resulting in a settlement payment to the bank of $253.1 million. The third settlement occurred on March 4, 2008, resulting in a settlement payment to the company of $54.2 million. The settlement amounts were paid in cash at the election of IIG in accordance with the provisions of the ASR and were recorded as adjustments to Stockholders equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the settlement dates. The adjusted average price paid per share during the ASR period was $108.13, resulting in a total purchase price of $12,851 million versus the original $12,500 million. The $351 million difference was settled in cash.

This excerpt taken from the IBM 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2007. 7. Accelerated Share
Repurchase: In May 2007, IBM International Group, a
wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the company (the Foreign Subsidiary)
repurchased 118.8 million shares of common stock for $12.5 billion under
accelerated share repurchase agreements with three banks (the Accelerated
Repurchase).
Pursuant to the Accelerated Repurchase agreements, executed on May 25, 2007, the Foreign Subsidiary paid an initial purchase price of $105.18 per share for the repurchase. The initial purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of IBM common stock over a settlement period of three months for each of the banks. The adjustment will also reflect certain other amounts including the banks carrying costs, compensation for ordinary dividends declared by the company during the settlement period and interest benefits for receiving the $12.5 billion payment in advance of the anticipated purchases by each bank of shares in the open market during its settlement period. The adjustment amount can be settled in cash, registered shares or unregistered shares at the Foreign Subsidiarys option. Under the Accelerated Repurchase, the Foreign Subsidiary will have a separate settlement with each of the three banks. The first settlement occurred on September 6, 2007, resulting in a settlement payment to the bank of $151.8 million. The amount was paid in cash at the election of the Foreign Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Accelerated Repurchase and was recorded as an adjustment to Stockholders equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the settlement date.
12
The remaining two settlements are expected to occur in December 2007 and March 2008, and any amounts to be paid or received by the Foreign Subsidiary under any of the settlement alternatives in connection with the price adjustment will be recorded as an adjustment to Stockholders equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on each of the settlement dates.
The estimated fair value of the cash settlement and share settlement alternatives under the Accelerated Repurchase as of September 30, 2007 would result in the payment of approximately $764 million or 6.7 million registered shares, or 6.8 million unregistered shares respectively, by the Foreign Subsidiary. In comparison, each $1 increase in the volume weighted average share price would increase these estimates by approximately $79.2 million or approximately 0.7 million registered and unregistered shares under the cash settlement and share settlement alternatives, respectively. The Foreign Subsidiary cannot be required to deliver more than 238 million shares if it elects the share settlement options for the two remaining settlements, regardless of the volume weighted average share price.
