SHAREOWNERS’ EQUITY Capital Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital and Retained Earnings We maintain two classes of common stock, which are distinguished from each other primarily by their respective voting rights. Class A shares are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas Class B shares are entitled to one vote per share. Class A shares are primarily held by UPS employees and retirees, and these shares are fully convertible into Class B shares at any time. Class B shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “UPS”. Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of March 31, 2011, there were 4.6 billion Class A shares and 5.6 billion Class B shares authorized to be issued. Additionally, there are 200 million preferred shares, with a $0.01 par value, authorized to be issued; as of March 31, 2011, no preferred shares had been issued. The following is a roll-forward of our common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions, except per share amounts):   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="72%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td

time, we enter into share repurchase programs with large financial institutions to assist in our buyback of company stock. These programs allow us to repurchase our shares at a price below the weighted average UPS share price for a given period. During the first quarter of 2011, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program, which allowed us to repurchase $250 million of shares (3.4 million shares). The program was completed in March 2011. In the first quarter of 2010, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program that allowed us to repurchase $186 million of shares (3.0 million shares). The program was completed in April 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, we also entered into an option repurchase transaction allowing us to buy our shares on certain dates at fixed prices. On March 31, 2011, we have options outstanding to purchase 0.4 million shares, and the options expire in June 2011. In total, we repurchased a total of 6.8 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock for $501 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 4.5 million shares for $262 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we had $4.694 billion of our share repurchase authorization remaining. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) We experience activity in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives that qualify as hedges of cash flows, and unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs. The activity in AOCI for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td
