We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.35 and $0.33 per common share, or $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, on our outstanding common stock for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. We declared and paid cash dividends of $1.01 and $0.91 per common share, or $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion, on our outstanding common stock for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.
(b) | Stock Repurchase Program
In September 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. On February 13, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a $15 billion increase to the stock repurchase program. The remaining authorized amount for stock repurchases under this program, including the additional authorization, is approximately $18 billion with no termination date. A summary of the stock repurchase activity for fiscal 2019 and 2018 under the stock repurchase program, reported based on the trade date, is summarized as follows (in millions, except per-share amounts):

There were $200 million and $180 million of stock repurchases that were pending settlement as of April 27, 2019 and July 28, 2018, respectively. The purchase price for the shares of our stock repurchased is reflected as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. We are required to allocate the purchase price of the repurchased shares as (i) a reduction to retained earnings and (ii) a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital. (c) Preferred Stock Under the terms of our Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may determine the rights, preferences, and terms of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.
