The details in the call announcement were scarce: All Apple was willing to say is that it will announce "the outcome of the Company’s discussions concerning its cash balance."
Apple's hoard of cash has been a subject of discussions for quite some time. Some call for the world's biggest company to pay out a dividend to its shareholders (Apple has last done this in 1995), and others would like to see Apple eat up other companies.
While any company dreams of having such an enormous pile of cash on its hands (coupled with very little or no debt), the truth is that Apple's cash balance is becoming somewhat of a burden for the company, and large shareholders are getting restless.
