Dividend Policy

We did not pay quarterly common stock dividends in 2024, 2023, or 2022. On February 3, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the reinstatement of quarterly common stock dividends, and on February 4, 2025, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of outstanding common stock payable on March 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 6, 2025. Declaration and payment of future dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, share dilution management, legal risks, tax policies, capital requirements relating to research and development, investments and acquisitions, challenges to our business model and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our credit agreements limit our ability to pay cash dividends under certain circumstances.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In October 2023, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to a delegation of authority from the Board, authorized a program to repurchase up to $5 billion of our common stock (“2023 Share Repurchase Program”).

Under the program, shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be subject to the discretion of the Company and depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of Expedia Group’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements and other business considerations. A summary of the repurchase activity for the fourth quarter of 2024 is as follows:
