Share Repurchase Program Share Repurchase Program
On February 24, 2022, the Company announced a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock. On February 23, 2023, the Company announced that its Board authorized and approved an increase of the Repurchase Program by approximately $387.9 million, permitting future share repurchases of $500.0 million after considering actual share repurchases as of such re-authorization date.
Share repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through various means, including open market purchases (including block trades), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions (“ASR”) or through a
series of forward purchase agreements, option contracts or similar agreements and contracts (including Rule 10b5-1 plans) adopted by the Company, in each case in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including, if applicable, Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Program are at the discretion of management and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program are retired immediately and are included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. Direct and incremental costs associated with the Repurchase Program are deferred and included as a component of the purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the par value of the common shares is reflected in retained earnings.
On May 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Supplemental Confirmation (together with the Company’s March 22, 2022 Variable Tenor ASR Master Agreement, the “May 2024 ASR Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) to repurchase $225.0 million (the “ASR Repurchase Price”) of its common stock. Under the terms of the May 2024 ASR Agreement, the Company paid the ASR Repurchase Price to Citi and received an initial share delivery of 1,927,608 shares of its common stock from Citi, representing 80% of the total expected share repurchases under the May 2024 ASR Agreement, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $93.38 on May 9, 2024. The final number of shares to be repurchased pursuant to the May 2024 ASR Agreement will be determined upon settlement based on the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the May 2024 ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the May 2024 ASR Agreement. At settlement, Citi will deliver additional shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company, or, under certain circumstances, the Company will deliver cash or shares of the Company’s common stock to Citi, with the method of settlement at the Company’s election. As of September 30, 2024, the remaining $45.0 million of the ASR Repurchase Price was evaluated as an unsettled equity forward contract indexed to the Company’s common stock and classified within stockholders’ equity as a reduction to additional paid in capital until the equity forward contract settles. The final settlement of the May 2024 ASR Agreement is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
