(2)On January 24, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, and repurchases under this program began in March 2024. We intend to repurchase a total of $1.25 billion under this program in 2024, and then complete the program by the end of the first quarter of 2025. A 1 percent excise tax is imposed on “net repurchases” (certain purchases minus certain issuances) of common stock. The repurchases above (as well as the total program size and expected 2024 repurchases) do not include the excise tax, which totaled $10 million year-to-date through September 30, 2024.
