Future dividends are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors. Share Repurchase Program In May 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization from $175 billion to $210 billion of the Company’s common stock, of which $166 billion had been utilized as of September 30, 2017. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has entered, and in the future may enter, into accelerated share repurchase arrangements (“ASRs”) with financial institutions. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions deliver shares of the Company’s common stock during the purchase periods of each ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during that period. The shares received are retired in the periods they are delivered, and the up-front payments are accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the periods the payments are made. The Company reflects the ASRs as a repurchase of common stock in the period delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as forward contracts indexed to its own common stock. The ASRs met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore were not accounted for as derivative instruments. The following table shows the Company’s ASR activity and related information during the years ended September 30, 2017 and September 24, 2016:
| Purchase Period End Date |  | Number of Shares (in thousands) |  | Average Repurchase Price Per Share |  | ASR Amount (in millions)

May 2017 ASR | August 2017 |  | 20,108 |  | (2) | $ | 149.20 |  |  | $ | 3,000 |
February 2017 ASR | May 2017 |  | 20,949 |  |  | $ | 143.20 |  |  | $ | 3,000 |
November 2016 ASR | February 2017 |  | 51,157 |  |  | $ | 117.29 |  |  | $ | 6,000 |

November 2015 ASR | April 2016 |  | 29,122 |  |  | $ | 103.02 |  |  | $ | 3,000 |
(1) | “Number of Shares” represents those shares delivered at the beginning of the purchase period and does not represent the final number of shares to be delivered under the ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the purchase period based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during that period. The August 2017 ASR purchase period will end in November 2017.
(2) | Includes 15.6 million shares delivered and retired at the beginning of the purchase period, which began in the third quarter of 2017, and 4.5 million shares delivered and retired at the end of the purchase period, which concluded in the fourth quarter of 2017.
