shareholders  through the  purchase of 14.2  million  shares,  average  price of
$29.69 per share,  and $17.1 million in dividends for a combined total of $437.8
million  representing  more than 110 percent of our net earnings during the same
timeframe.

Statements  in this press  release,  other than purely  historical  information,
regarding  our future  plans and  objectives  and  expected  operating  results,
dividends and share  repurchases  and statements of the  assumptions  underlying
such statements,  constitute  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of
Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  The  forward-looking
statements  contained  herein are based on certain  assumptions  that may not be
correct.  They are subject to risks and  uncertainties  incident to our business
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking  statements.  These risks and uncertainties are described in the
reports and statements filed by us with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
including  (among others) those listed in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K,
and  include  the risks that our  membership  persistency  or renewal  rates may
decline,  that we may  not be able to  continue  to  grow  our  memberships  and
earnings,  that we are dependent on the continued  active  participation  of our
principal  executive  officer,  that  pending  or future  litigation  may have a
material  adverse  effect on us if resolved  unfavorably to us, that we may have
compromises of our information security, that during an economic downturn in the
economy consumer  purchases of  discretionary  items may be affected which could
materially  harm  our  sales,  retention  rates,   profitability  and  financial
condition, that we could be adversely affected by regulatory developments,  that
competition  could adversely affect us, that we are  substantially  dependent on
our marketing force, that our stock price may be affected by short sellers, that
we have been unable to increase our employee group membership sales and that our

changes in active  memberships  from  cancellations  and  additional  membership
sales.  Please refer to pages 15 - 17 of our 2008 Form 10-K for a more  complete
