Dividends

Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.06 per share payable to holders of our common stock in each quarter of fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022. As a result, we paid total cash dividends of $206.8 million in fiscal 2024, $204.4 million in fiscal 2023, and $191.0 million in fiscal 2022.

Future payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock will be subject to, among other things, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Company’s results of operations, cash balances and future cash requirements, financial condition, developments in ongoing litigation, statutory requirements under Delaware law and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company’s dividend payments may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to declare dividends at all or in any particular amounts.

(2)On November 17, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a $1.0 billion stock repurchase plan with no fixed expiration. The stock repurchase program replaced in its entirety the prior $3.3 billion stock repurchase program. On October 16, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $700.0 million addition to the balance of our existing stock repurchase plan. Our existing stock repurchase program had approximately $304.0 million of repurchase authority remaining as of October 16, 2018 prior to the approved addition. We intend to effect stock repurchases in accordance with the conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, but may also make repurchases in the open market outside of Rule 10b-18 or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program will be subject to market conditions and other factors and does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of our common stock and the repurchase program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Subsequent to fiscal year end, in March 2024, our Board of Directors increased the repurchase program mentioned above and authorized an additional $3.0 billion to that repurchase program.

From August 2010 when our Board of Directors initially authorized a stock repurchase program through February 3, 2024, a total of 312.9 million shares have been repurchased under the Company’s stock repurchase program for a total $4.5 billion in cash and $299.5 million remains available for future stock repurchases. Subsequent to fiscal year end, with the additional authorized $3.0 billion to the repurchase program, $3.3 billion remains available for future stock repurchases as of March 6, 2024.

Our stock repurchase program is subject to market conditions, legal restrictions and regulations, and other factors, and does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of its common stock and the repurchase program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
