Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FIS”. The table set forth below provides the high and low closing sales prices of the common stock and the cash dividends declared per share of common stock for each quarter of 2017 and 2016.

We currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends. However, the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions.

Item 12 of Part III contains information concerning securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.

Our Board of Directors has approved a series of plans authorizing repurchases of our common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, the most recent of which was on July 20, 2017. The current plan authorized repurchases of up to $4,000 million through December 31, 2020. This share repurchase authorization replaced any existing share repurchase authorization plan.

repurchases as of December 31, 2017. During January and February 2018, we repurchased an additional 4 million shares of our common stock for $401 million at an average price of $97.70 per share.
