We have had a stock repurchase program in place since 2008. As of June 30, 2024, we had $647,741 authorized for repurchasing shares of our common stock, which includes $400,000 additional authorization approved by our Board of Directors on June 5, 2024. Prior to June 26, 2024, shares we repurchased were held in treasury stock until they are reissued or retired at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Beginning on June 26, 2024 all shares of common stock that we repurchase are immediately retired and not held as treasury stock.
During the second quarter of 2024, we retired 507,166 shares of its common stock that were being held as treasury stock. The retirement resulted in a reduction of $5,194,196 in treasury stock, $5,072 in the par value of common stock, and $5,189,124 in retained earnings.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 1,402 shares of common stock at a total cost of $73,011 were netted and surrendered as payment for minimum statutory withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of outstanding stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 2,011 shares of common stock at a total cost of $67,474 were netted and surrendered as payment for minimum statutory withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of outstanding stock awards. Shares surrendered by the participants in accordance with the applicable award agreements and plan are deemed repurchased by us but are not part of publicly announced share repurchase programs.
