Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities (Continued)
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed an anti-dilutive share repurchase program to offset the dilutive effect of share-based compensation granted during 2024. The program authorized repurchases of up to 53 million shares of Ford Common Stock. As shown in the rightmost column of the table below, we do not intend to make any further purchases under this program because its anti-dilutive purpose was fulfilled after purchasing only 36.43 million shares.
