Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced, on June 27, 2007, the Board of Directors of Digital River, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized a $200 million corporate stock buyback program. In accordance with the June 2007 stock buyback program, on February 7, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase shares of its common stock from Goldman Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) for an aggregate purchase price of $127 million pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program. Repurchased shares have been reclassified as treasury shares.
The number of shares repurchased under the ASR program was based generally on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR agreement. Purchases under the ASR agreement were subject to collar provisions that established minimum and maximum numbers of shares based on the volume-weighted average share price over an initial hedge period. ASR program purchases totaling $127 million were effected under the ASR program. Following the end of the initial hedge period, the minimum number of shares to be repurchased was set at 3,548,845 shares and the maximum number of shares to be repurchased was set at 4,034,477 shares. On June 20, 2008, Goldman Sachs informed the Company that it had concluded the ASR program. The aggregate number of shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR program was 3,876,611 shares at an average price of $32.76 per share. The ASR agreement terminated upon completion of the ASR program on June 20, 2008 in accordance with its terms.
