Open market share repurchase activity during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1) | |||||||||||||
| October 1, 2024 - October 31, 2024 | 21,324 | $ | 119.48 | 21,324 | |||||||||||||
| November 1, 2024 - November 30, 2024 | 2,301,758 | 134.80 | 2,301,758 | ||||||||||||||
| December 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024 | 1,665,592 | 132.61 | 1,665,592 | ||||||||||||||
| 3,988,674 | $ | 133.81 | 3,988,674 | $ | 5,822 |
**(1)**In November 2024, our Board authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of December 31, 2024. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we repurchased an aggregate of $534 million of our common stock under the 2024 program. The remaining $5.8 billion in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the 2024 program as of December 31, 2024.
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.
