The New York Stock Exchange is the principal market on which our common stock is traded. The following table indicates the high and low sales prices of our common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange and the cash dividends declared per common share for the periods indicated:

On January 31, 2015, there were approximately 4,500 holders of record of our common stock.

We expect that our practice of paying quarterly dividends on our common stock will continue, although the payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors.

In September 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 50 million shares, for retirement of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous authorization established in 2007. During 2014, we repurchased and retired 7 million shares of our common stock (including 1.7 million shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2014 to offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards) for cash aggregating $158 million. The following table provides information regarding the repurchase of our common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2014:
