Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Open market share repurchase activity during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

**(1)**In November 2021, our board of directors authorized a program for the company to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock over five years, effective November 19, 2021 (the 2021 program). In August 2022, our board of directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion under this program, bringing the total authorized amount under the 2021 program to a total of $4.0 billion. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of $19.6 million of our common stock under the 2021 program. The remaining $1.5 billion in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the 2021 program as of December 31, 2023.

Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash. We may utilize our stock repurchase programs to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
