SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY | 3 Months Ended
--- | ---
Mar. 31, 2022
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY | SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY Capital Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital, Retained Earnings and Non-Controlling Minority Interests We are authorized to issue two classes of common stock, which are distinguished from each other primarily by their respective voting rights. Class A shares of UPS are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas class B shares are entitled to one vote per share. Class A shares are primarily held by UPS employees and retirees, as well as trusts and descendants of the Company's founders, and these shares are fully convertible into class B shares at any time. Class B shares are publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “UPS”. Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of March 31, 2022, there were 4.6 billion class A shares and 5.6 billion class B shares authorized to be issued. Additionally, there are 200 million preferred shares authorized to be issued, with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of March 31, 2022, no preferred shares had been issued. The following is a rollforward of our common stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and non-controlling minority interests accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in millions, except per share amounts):

(1) The dividend per share amount is the same for both class A and class B common stock. Dividends include $122 and $80 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that were settled in shares of class A common stock.
In August 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for $5.0 billion of class A and class B common stock. During the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of class B common stock for $260 million under this program ($254 million in repurchases is reported on the statement of consolidated cash flows due to the timing of settlements). As of March 31, 2022, we had $4.2 billion of our share repurchase authorization available. We anticipate our share repurchases will be approximately $2.0 billion for all of 2022. Share repurchases may be in the form of accelerated share repurchase programs, open market purchases or other methods we deem appropriate. The timing of share repurchases will depend upon market conditions. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, this program will expire when we have purchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the program. Movements in additional paid-in capital in respect of stock award plans comprise accruals for unvested awards, offset by adjustments for awards that vest during the period. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) We recognize activity in other comprehensive income for foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives that qualify as hedges of cash flows and unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs. The activity in accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in millions):

Deferred Compensation Obligations and Treasury Stock We maintain a deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees were previously able to elect to defer the gains on stock option exercises by deferring the shares received upon exercise into a rabbi trust. The shares held in this trust are classified as treasury stock, and the liability to participating employees is classified as Deferred compensation obligations in the S hareowners’ Equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The number of shares needed to settle the liability for deferred compensation obligations is included in the denominator in both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Employees are generally no longer able to defer the gains from stock options exercised subsequent to December 31, 2004. Activity in the deferred compensation program for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in millions):
