Share Repurchase Authorization

On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration and replaced the Company’s 2017 Share Repurchase Program. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not modify the Company’s evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.

As a result of our stock repurchases, there remains $729.7 million of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2022.
