Effective September 21, 2020, our common stock was listed and began trading on Nasdaq's Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "KDP". From July 9, 2018, through September 18, 2020, our common stock was listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "KDP". Prior to the closing of the DPS Merger, our common stock was listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "DPS".
As of December 31, 2022, there were 9,059 stockholders of record of our common stock.
KDP's Board has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend and expects to continue to pay such dividends on a quarterly basis.
ISSUER REPURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On October 1, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, potentially enabling us to return value to shareholders. The $4 billion authorization is effective for four years, beginning on January 1, 2022 and expiring on December 31, 2025, and does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares. There were no share repurchase programs in effect during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The following table summarizes shares repurchased by us under this program during the fourth quarter of 2022:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program | Maximum Amount of Dollars that May Yet be Used to Purchase Shares Under the Program (in millions) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| October 1 to October 31 | — | $ | — | — | $ | 3,912 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| November 1 to November 30 | — | — | — | 3,912 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| December 1 to December 31 | 8,018,696 | 36.31 | 8,018,696 | 3,621 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | 8,018,696 | $ | 36.31 | 8,018,696 | $ | 3,621 |
COMPARISON OF TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN
The following performance graph compares the cumulative total returns of DPS through July 9, 2018 and KDP from July 10, 2018 through December 31, 2022 with the cumulative total returns of the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Food and Beverage Select Industry Index. We believe that these indices convey an accurate assessment of our performance as compared to the industry.
The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2017, with dividends reinvested quarterly. The graph additionally assumes that a special cash dividend of $103.75 which was declared and paid as a result of the DPS Merger was reinvested in KDP once shares resumed trading on July 10, 2018.
