Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

The New York Stock Exchange is the principal market on which our common stock is traded, under the ticker symbol MAS. On January 31, 2024, there were approximately 2,500 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. The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share in the first quarter of 2024 with the intention to increase the annual dividend 2 percent to $1.16 per share.

Effective October 20, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock, exclusive of excise tax, in open-market transactions or otherwise. We repurchased and retired 6.2 million shares of our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2023 for approximately $356 million, inclusive of excise tax of $3 million. This included 0.2 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2023. At December 31, 2023, we had $1.6 billion remaining under the 2022 authorization.

The following table provides information regarding the repurchase of our common stock for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023.
