Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Risks Relating to our Pending Tender Offer of Zardoya Otis

The Tender Offer is subject to the approval of the CNMV and other uncertainties. Zardoya Otis shareholders may not tender their shares or there may be competing offers. The Company may not be able to obtain permanent financing on terms acceptable to the Company or realize certain cost and operational efficiencies and other expected benefits. If the Company is unable to complete the Tender Offer or the permanent financing on the anticipated terms, time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of the Company's common stock may decline.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information about our purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of equity securities that are registered by us pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(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. At September 30, 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 anticipated to fund the Tender Offer, we expect to suspend share repurchases through 2022 as we focus on deleveraging.
