(1)In January 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100 million shares of our common stock at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans. In August 2024, our Board of Directors approved a separate, incremental share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion in aggregate value of shares of our common stock. Repurchases under these programs will be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans. Neither of these repurchase programs has an expiration date, and either program may be suspended for periods, amended or discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 13.2 million shares remained available for repurchase under the January 2021 program, and the Company will exhaust its authorization under this program prior to repurchasing shares under the new program.
