(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 a result of the increased debt incurred in 2021 to fund the Tender Offer, we temporarily suspended our share repurchases as we focused on deleveraging. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we repaid certain debt and resumed our share repurchases.
On March 9, 2022, our Board of Directors revoked any remaining share repurchase authority under the prior share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program for up to $1 billion of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this current program was $1 billion. 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.
