Not sure where you are getting the $ 500million figure. If they bought back only 10 million shares over the course of a calendar year - and lets assume on average it cost $7 per share - it would cost only $70 million over the course of the year or just under 15% of their current capex budget. Seems very reaasonable and prudent use of some of our annual cash flow or budget however you want to look at it.
One other point, management is restricted to when they can buy back shares. For example, they can not buy back if they have material information that would likely impact the share price. Also they are limited around end of Q, but I am not sure of thelength and exact timing of blacck out periods.
