This excerpt taken from the PNC 10-K filed Mar 2, 2009. Other Shareholders Equity Matters We have a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. Holders of preferred stock and PNC common stock may participate in the plan, which provides that additional shares of common stock may be purchased at market value with reinvested dividends and voluntary cash payments. Common shares issued pursuant to this plan were: 716,819 shares in 2008, 571,271 shares in 2007 and 535,394 shares in 2006. At December 31, 2008, we had reserved approximately 94.7 million common shares to be issued in connection with certain stock plans and the conversion of certain debt and equity securities. Effective October 4, 2007, our Board of Directors terminated the 2005 stock repurchase program and approved a new stock repurchase program to purchase up to 25 million shares of PNC common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The 2007 program will remain in effect until fully utilized or until modified, superseded or terminated. We did not repurchase any shares during 2008 under the 2007 program. During 2007, we purchased 11 million common shares at a total cost of approximately $800 million under the 2005 and 2007 programs.
