Share Repurchases

On September 16, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $40.0 billion in share repurchases.

This new share repurchase program replaced the share repurchase program that was announced on September 22, 2008 and expired on September 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, $35.1 billion remained of our $40.0 billion share repurchase program. All repurchases were made using cash resources.
