Our share repurchase program announced on March 3, 2003, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common stock, which represented approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of the program. Subsequent additional increases totaling $3.7 billion, authorized by our Board of Directors, to the repurchase program provide for a total of $3.8 billion of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under this program.

On March 8, 2021, we announced the reinstatement of our share repurchase program.

As of September 25, 2021, we had repurchased approximately $3.9 billion of common stock (79,082,135 shares) under these initiatives, with $350.0 million available for future common stock share repurchases.

The following table summarizes repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program during the fiscal quarter ended September 25, 2021.
