In December 2019, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. In October 2018, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we repurchased $85 million of common stock under the 2018 authorization, completing this program, and repurchased $6 million of common stock under the 2019 authorization. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2019 program at December 31, 2020, was $1,994 million.
Our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect, repurchase shares only if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. Shares associated with participants' sales are sold as open-market transactions via a third-party broker as of May 1, 2020.
