The risk factors summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K do not include all of the risks that we face, and there may be additional risks or uncertainties that are currently unknown or not believed to be material that occur or become material.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In August 2021, our Board of Directors increased the prior authorization to repurchase shares of our common stock by authorizing an additional $1 billion. The actual timing and amount of repurchases are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors.
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, we repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares on the open market, for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million.
In June 2022, we also entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Royal Bank of Canada to repurchase an aggregate of $100 million of our common stock. The ASR agreement was accounted for as two separate transactions: (1) a repurchase of common stock; and (2) an equity-linked contract on our own stock. Under the ASR agreement, we received an initial share delivery of approximately 0.5 million shares, which represented the number of shares at a market price equal to $70 million. An equity-linked contract for $30 million, representing remaining shares to be delivered by Royal Bank of Canada under the ASR agreement, was recorded to stockholders’ equity as of July 2, 2022 and is expected to settle in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 upon completion of the repurchases. The shares we receive are treated as a repurchase of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The final number of shares that we will repurchase under the ASR agreement will be based on the daily volume-weighted average share prices of our stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount.
As of July 2, 2022, approximately $527 million of the share repurchase authorization remained available to repurchase shares of our common stock.
The following table presents repurchases made under our current authorization and shares surrendered by employees to satisfy income tax withholding obligations during the three months ended July 2, 2022:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) | Average Price Paid Per Share (2) | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan or Program | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under Publicly Announced Plan or Program (1) (3) (In millions) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| April 3, 2022 - May 7, 2022 | 1,249,243 | $ | 153.67 | 1,229,469 | $ | 687 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| May 8, 2022 - June 4, 2022 | 396,024 | $ | 144.07 | 383,044 | $ | 632 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Total | 2,177,898 | $ | 149.61 | 2,138,446 |
(1)Shares purchased that were not part of our publicly announced repurchase programs represent employee surrender of shares of restricted stock to satisfy employee income tax withholding obligations due upon vesting, and do not reduce the dollar value that may yet be purchased under our publicly announced repurchase programs.
(2)The weighted average price paid per share of common stock does not include the cost of commissions.
(3)The remaining authorization to repurchase shares of our common stock was reduced by the $30 million equity-linked contract, for which shares are expected to settle in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
