Share Repurchase Program |
Share repurchase program | NOTE 8 – SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM ​ In January of 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase shares of its common stock, solely through open market purchases effected through a broker dealer at prevailing market prices, based on a variety of factors such as price, corporate trading policy requirements and overall market conditions. The Company’s Board of Directors may increase or otherwise modify, renew, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, without prior notice. As announced on February 10, 2021, and May 27, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors each time approved a resolution to increase the authorization amount under the share repurchase program by an additional $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, resulting in a cumulative authorization amount of $17.3 billion. The additional authorizations are effective for three years, beginning on their respective announcement date. ​ The following table identifies shares of the Company’s common stock that have been repurchased as part of the Company’s publicly announced share repurchase program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share data): ​
