billion share buyback initiated on 24 August 2007 as part of its  CHF
25 billion buyback programme. Nestlé S.A. repurchased 314,060,000  of
its shares  (adjusted to  reflect the  10:1 share  split effected  in

100,725,000 shares after the share  split) were cancelled on 19  June
2008 and 180,000,000 shares were cancelled on 30 June 2009, following
