stock repurchase program to facilitate our stock repurchase program , designed to return value to our stockholders and minimize dilution from stock issuances , we repurchase shares in the open market and also enter into structured repurchase agreements with third-parties .
authorization to repurchase shares to cover on-going dilution was not subject to expiration .
however , this repurchase program was limited to covering net dilution from stock issuances and was subject to business conditions and cash flow requirements as determined by our board of directors from time to time .
during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 , our board of directors approved an amendment to our stock repurchase program authorized in april 2007 from a non-expiring share-based authority to a time-constrained dollar-based authority .
as part of this amendment , the board of directors granted authority to repurchase up to $ 1.6 billion in common stock through the end of fiscal 2012 .
during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 , we exhausted our $ 1.6 billion authority granted by our board of directors in fiscal in april 2012 , the board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program granting authority to repurchase up to $ 2.0 billion in common stock through the end of fiscal 2015 .

we enter into these agreements in order to take advantage of repurchasing shares at a guaranteed discount to the volume weighted average price ( 201cvwap 201d ) of our common stock over a specified period of time .
we only enter into such transactions when the discount that we receive is higher than the foregone return on our cash prepayments to the financial institutions .

under the terms of the agreements , there is no requirement for the financial institutions to return any portion of the prepayment to us .
the financial institutions agree to deliver shares to us at monthly intervals during the contract term .
the parameters used to calculate the number of shares deliverable are : the total notional amount of the contract , the number of trading days in the contract , the number of trading days in the interval and the average vwap of our stock during the interval less the agreed upon discount .
