Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
FedEx’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FDX.” As of July 16, 2020, there were 11,643 holders of record of our common stock.
We expect to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, though each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors. We evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we amended our amended and restated $2.0 billion five-year credit agreement and $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (together, the “Credit Agreements”) to, among other things, temporarily restrict us from increasing the amount of our quarterly dividend payable per share of common stock from $0.65 per share and repurchasing any shares of our common stock between May 27, 2020 and May 31, 2021. See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the amendments to the Credit Agreements. There are no other material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends, nor are there any material restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.
We did not repurchase any shares of FedEx common stock during the fourth quarter of 2020. On January 26, 2016, we announced a stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors, through which we are authorized to purchase, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, up to an aggregate of 25 million shares of our common stock. As of July 16, 2020, 5.1 million shares remained authorized for purchase under the January 2016 stock repurchase program, which is the only such program that currently exists. The program does not have an expiration date. See Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
