(1) Average price paid per share includes costs associated with the repurchases.

On April 27, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $1 billion of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2021, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this current program was approximately $275 million. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. As a result of the increased debt incurred to fund the Tender Offer, we have temporarily suspended our share repurchases as we focus on deleveraging.
