Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 14, 2011, we announced a program, effective immediately, to repurchase up to an additional $75 million of our outstanding common stock. The timing and exact number of shares actually repurchased will be affected by several factors, including legal and regulatory requirements and changes in the market price of our stock.

Our initial share repurchase program, announced on August 4, 2011, was completed on September 12, 2011. As of September 12, we had repurchased and retired approximately 13 million common shares at an average price of $5.68 per share and had approximately 108 million common shares outstanding.
