In January 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $4 billion of its outstanding common stock in open market or private transactions over a

two-year

period. This program replaced the remaining amounts available under the

pre-existing

authorization. In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the share repurchase program through January 21, 2023. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended and extended this repurchase program’s term by one year such that it expired on January 21, 2024 and increased the total authorization level to $4.8 billion, an increase of $750 million. In December 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the share repurchase program through January 21, 2025. In December 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the existing share repurchase program through January 21, 2028. As of April 4, 2026, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 15.2 million shares at a cost of $3.8 billion under the January 2019 repurchase program and had a total of $1.0 billion authorized for future repurchases. The size and timing of these purchases, if any, will depend on our stock price and market and business conditions, as well as other factors.
