Under this program the Company purchased a total of 197.1 million shares at a cost of $8 billion (an average price of $40.58 per share). Following the completion of this program, the Company began repurchases under the new four-year, $12 billion program approved by the Board of Directors in November 2015. As of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company had repurchased 20.1 million shares at an average price of $59.21 per share for a total approximate cost of $1.2 billion under the new program. We intend to use excess cash, future cash from operations and/or proceeds from debt to fund repurchases under the share repurchase program.
