On April 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an extension to the Company’s $500 million share repurchase program (the “Extended Repurchase Program”), which was scheduled to expire on April 29, 2017, through April 29, 2020. Pursuant to the Extended Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase its ordinary shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices and at such times as it deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The Company may make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs, and any repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Extended Repurchase Program will be conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and will be subject to market conditions and other factors.

 

The Extended Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and the Extended Repurchase Program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.
