Stock Repurchase Program
In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. On January 28, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2024 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $800.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. The 2024 Stock Repurchase Program replaced the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, which has been cancelled. Under the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program, the stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.
According to the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase stocks from time to time through accelerated stock repurchase programs, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, tender offers or other means. The timing and actual number of any stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, our stock price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The 2024 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
