Item 8.01    Other Events.

As previously disclosed, in November 2010 the Company purchased capped call options to hedge the risk of price appreciation on the shares of its common stock into which its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 were convertible. The Company has exercised the capped call options and elected net share settlement. Following the calculation period under the terms of the options, on April  5, 2013, the option counterparties completed delivery of approximately 1.5 million settlement shares to the Company. The settlement shares have been eliminated from the Company's outstanding common shares and their value recorded to the equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheet. These shares do not count against the limits established under the Company's share repurchase program.
