Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Motorola Solutions' common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol "MSI." The number of stockholders of record of its common stock on February 1, 2021 was 21,690. This figure does not include a substantially greater number of “street name” holders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.
During 2020, we declared regular quarterly dividends of $0.64 per share of our common stock for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2020, and $0.71 per share of our common stock for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. While we expect to continue to pay comparable regular quarterly dividends in 2021, any future dividend payments will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our profits, financial requirements and other factors, including legal restrictions on the payment of dividends, general business conditions and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.
The following table provides information with respect to acquisitions by the Company of shares of its common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
