(1) From time to time, our board of directors has adopted share repurchase plans authorizing the repurchase of our outstanding ordinary shares. Our current share repurchase plan authorizes the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares with no expiration date. In fiscal 2013, we repurchased 10.4 million ordinary shares at an average price of $35.38 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees). As of September 30, 2013, we had remaining authority to repurchase up to $335.9 million of our outstanding ordinary shares. The authorization permits us to purchase our ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that we consider appropriate.
