Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Our shares of common stock are listed and principally traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “NVR.” As of the close of business on February 12, 2024, there were 158 shareholders of record of our common stock.
We have never paid a cash dividend on our shares of common stock and have no current intention to do so in the future.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we fully utilized the remaining amount available under a $500 million share repurchase authorization that was publicly announced on August 2, 2023. On November 9, 2023, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had approved a new repurchase authorization in the amount of up to $750 million. Each share repurchase authorization authorized the repurchase of our outstanding common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions, with no expiration date. In addition, the repurchase authorizations specifically prohibit us from purchasing shares from our officers, directors, Profit Sharing Plan Trust or Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. Repurchase activity is conducted pursuant to publicly announced Board authorizations, and is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following table provides information regarding common stock repurchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2023:
