Share repurchase activity during the 13-week period ended December 30, 2023, summarized on a trade-date basis, was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1) The Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program on April 22, 2022 (the "2022 Program") that was announced on April 27, 2022, authorizing the Company to purchase up to $300 million of its common shares, exclusive of the cost of any associated excise tax. Share repurchases may have been made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under plans complying with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and volume of share repurchases were subject to market conditions, business conditions and applicable laws, and were at management’s discretion. The 2022 Program did not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may have been suspended or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase authorization expired on December 29, 2023. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to share repurchases.

(2) Average price paid per share includes costs associated with the repurchases, except for the cost of any associated excise tax.

Dividends

Future dividends on our common shares, if any, must be approved by our shareholders. In exercising their discretion to recommend to the shareholders that such dividends be approved, our Board of Directors will consider our financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, statutory requirements of applicable law, contractual restrictions, and other factors that they may deem relevant. For additional information, see the risk factor in Part I, Item 1A, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled "We have limited capital reserves from which to make distributions without subjecting our shareholders to Switzerland withholding tax."

Stock Performance Graph

This performance graph shall not be deemed ‘‘filed’’ with the SEC or subject to Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The graph below matches Garmin Ltd.'s cumulative 5-Year total shareholder return on common shares with the cumulative total returns of the NASDAQ Composite Index, the S&P 500 Index, and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the graph will include only the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index. Garmin Ltd. believes the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index is more relevant than the NASAQ Composite Index as the published industry index following the transfer of Garmin Ltd.’s stock listing from the Nasdaq Stock Market to the New York Stock Exchange. The graph tracks the performance of a $100 investment in our common shares and in each index (with the reinvestment of all dividends) from December 29, 2018 (“12/29/18”) to December 30, 2023 (“12/30/23”).
