The following table provides information about purchases of Holdings’ common stock by Holdings during the second quarter of 2025:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid Per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (2) | Maximum Dollar Amount of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program (2) | |||||||||||||||||||

(1)In April 2025, May 2025 and June 2025, 401, 297 and 286 shares, respectively, were withheld by Holdings to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards. These shares were not acquired pursuant to any repurchase plan or program.
(2)On April 23, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, and repurchases under the program began in April 2025. Subsequent to the enactment of the new federal tax legislation discussed above (see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Results of Operations-Other costs/(income)-effective tax rates”) on July 4, 2025, and with consideration of the expected cash flow benefit associated with the legislation, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the size of the share repurchase program, from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. We intend to repurchase $1.65 billion under the program in 2025, with the remaining $350 million under the program carried into 2026. The maximum dollar amount yet to be purchased above reflects the amount as of June 30, 2025, and the amount yet to be purchased increased by $500 million upon the increase in the program size. 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) do not include the excise tax, which totaled $6 million year-to-date through June 30, 2025 (the total excise tax amount relates to both the open program above and our prior $1.5 billion share repurchase program that was completed in the first quarter of 2025).
