SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $2.5 billion for common stock repurchases under the company’s existing stock repurchase program. The company began its capital return program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, and since that time the Board of Directors has authorized a total of $6.25 billion for stock repurchases including the additional authorization announced today. The company now has approximately $3.0 billion remaining available for stock repurchases under the expanded program.

Under the expanded program, stock repurchases may be made from time to time, and the actual amount expended will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, corporate cash generation and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made in both open market and privately negotiated transactions and may include the use of derivative contracts, structured share repurchase agreements and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The program does not obligate SanDisk to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period, and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the company's discretion.
