(1)Excludes commissions cost. The total value of shares repurchased during 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $400, $430, and $73, respectively. All of the shares repurchased during 2022, 2021, and 2020 were immediately retired. After giving effect to the share repurchases made through December 31, 2022, approximately $947 remained available for share repurchases as of January 1, 2023 under the prior authorizations by the Board. Under the Company’s share repurchase programs (the “Share Repurchase Programs”), the Company may repurchase shares by means of trading plans established from time to time in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, block trades, private transactions, open market repurchases and/or accelerated share repurchase agreements or other derivative transactions. There is no stated expiration for the Share Repurchase Programs. Under its Share Repurchase Programs, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or to do so at any particular time, and the Share Repurchase Programs may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice. Stock-Based Compensation Howmet has a stock-based compensation plan under which stock options and/or restricted stock unit awards are granted, generally, in the first half of each year to eligible employees. Stock options are granted at the closing market price of Howmet’s common stock on the date of grant and typically vest over a three-year service period (1/3 each year) with a ten-year contractual term. Restricted stock unit awards typically vest over a three-year service period from the date of grant. As part of Howmet’s stock-based compensation plan design, individuals who are retirement-eligible have a six-month requisite service period in the year of grant. Certain of the restricted stock unit awards include performance and market conditions and are granted to certain eligible employees. In 2020, performance stock awards were granted to a senior executive that vest either based on achievement of the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction (see Note C for further details) or the achievement of certain stock price thresholds. For performance stock awards granted in 2022, 2021, and for annual performance awards granted in 2020, the final number of shares earned will be based on Howmet’s achievement of profitability targets over the respective performance periods and will be earned at the end of the third year. Additionally, the annual 2022, 2021, and 2020 performance stock awards will be scaled by a total shareholder return (“TSR”) multiplier, which depends upon relative performance against the TSRs of a group of peer companies. In conjunction with their employment agreements, certain current and former executives were granted cash bonus awards based on the achievement of certain stock price thresholds. These awards are liability classified and were marked-to-market each quarter using a Monte Carlo simulation. The stock price thresholds were fully reached. The cash payment of $23 occurred in 2021 in accordance with the terms of the agreements. In 2022, 2021, and 2020, Howmet recognized stock-based compensation expense of $54 ($49 after-tax), $40 ($36 after-tax), and $46 ($42 after-tax), respectively. Senior executive performance awards granted in April 2020 were modified in June 2020, resulting in incremental compensation expense of $12, which is amortized over the remaining service period ending April 1, 2023. Additionally, the effect of the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction was a modification of the original stock options and restricted stock award units. The modifications were designed with the intention that the intrinsic value of the stock option or stock award were the same both previous to and after the adjustments. An immaterial charge was recorded to Restructuring and other charges related to the modification. All stock-based compensation expense recorded in 2022 and 2021 relates to restricted stock unit awards. Cash bonus awards of $2 were recorded in 2020. Of the remaining stock-based compensation expense in 2020, more than 95% relates to restricted stock unit awards. No stock-based compensation expense was capitalized in any of those years. Stock-based compensation expense was reduced by $2 in 2021 for certain executive pre-vest cancellations, which were recorded in Restructuring and other charges within the Statement of Consolidated Operations. At December 31, 2022, there was $35 (pre-tax) of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock unit award grants. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value of the applicable equity grant. For restricted stock unit awards, the fair value is equivalent to the closing market price of Howmet’s common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of the 2022 and 2021 performance stock awards with a market condition scaled by a TSR multiplier is $44.44 and $43.41, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of the April 2020 senior executive performance stock awards with a market condition (achievement of certain stock price thresholds) is $2.57. The 2022, 2021, and 2020 performance awards were valued using a Monte Carlo model. A Monte Carlo simulation uses assumptions of stock price behavior to estimate the probability of satisfying market conditions and the resulting fair value of the award. The risk-free interest rate (2.0% in 2022, 0.2% in 2021, and in 0.3% in 2020) was based on a yield curve of interest rates at the time of the grant based on the remaining performance period. In 2022, 2021, and 2020, volatility of 39.4%, 56.0%, and 48.3%, respectively, was estimated using Howmet's historical volatility in 2022 and a blended rate of Howmet's historical volatility and a peer-based volatility due to the Arconic Inc. Separation Transaction and the related changes in the nature of the business in 2021 and 2020. Stock options were last granted in 2018. The activity for stock options and stock awards during 2022 was as follows (options and awards in millions):
| Stock options |  | Stock awards
| Number of options |  | Weighted average exercise price per option |  | Number of awards |  | Weighted average FMV per award

As of December 31, 2022, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.1 years and a total intrinsic value of $15. All of the stock options outstanding were fully vested and exercisable. In 2022, 2021, and 2020, the cash received from stock option exercises was $16, $22, and $33, respectively, and the total tax benefit realized from these exercises was $2, $2, and $3, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $10, $10, and $14, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock awards converted during 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $61, $55, and $104, respectively.
