STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

In November 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2017 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2017 Authorization have become treasury shares.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2017, we repurchased 1,123,484 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2017 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $239.2 million through a combination of open market transactions and an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution.
