ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On October 1, 2021, our Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, enabling us to opportunistically 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. We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the third quarter of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $3,164 million remained available for repurchase under the authorized share repurchase program.
The share repurchase program was authorized prior to the issuance of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposes a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, $3 million was included in additional paid-in capital related to the excise tax associated with shares repurchased during first nine months of 2023.
