UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

Our share repurchase program, announced on March 3, 2003, originally

allowed us to repurchase up to two million

shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common

stock, which represented

approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement

of the program.

Subsequent additional

increases since 2003 that have aggregated to an additional $6.7 billion,

authorized by our Board, to the repurchase

program provide for a total of $6.8 billion (including $500 million authorized on

January 27, 2025 and an

additional $750 million authorized on September 8, 2025) of shares of our common

stock to be repurchased under

this program,

with $655 million currently available for future share repurchases.

On May 19, 2025, we executed an accelerated share repurchase program to

repurchase a total of $250 million of

our outstanding common stock based on volume-weighted average prices.

In May 2025 we received 3,122,832

shares at an estimated fair value of $224 million.

In July 2025, we received an additional 368,651 shares at an

estimated fair value of $26 million, representing the final amount of shares

to be received under this accelerated

share repurchase program.

As of March 28, 2026, we had repurchased approximately $6.1 billion of

common stock (109,486,614)

shares

under these initiatives,

with $655 million available for future share repurchases.

The following table summarizes repurchases of our common stock
