SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
The number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock is 125,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. At December 31, 2015, 3,985,412 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.
Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors, without further shareholder authorization, is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share in one or more series and to determine and fix the rights, preferences, and privileges of each series, including dividend rights and preferences over dividends on the common stock and one or more series of the preferred stock, conversion rights, voting rights (in addition to those provided by law), redemption rights, and the terms of any sinking fund therefore, and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, including preferences over the common stock and one or more series of the preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company has a share repurchase program of which there was $1.5 billion of remaining common shares authorized to be repurchased under the program as of December 31, 2015. This includes the Board of Directors authorization of an additional $1.5 billion to the program in November 2015. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from existing cash balances, borrowings, and cash generated from operating activities. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of repurchases will depend on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity, and other factors.
The Company has purchased 24.6 million common shares since the inception of the program in 2004 through December 31, 2015, at a total cost of $3.0 billion. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company spent $495.0 million and $414.0 million on the repurchase of 1,556,797 shares and 1,617,499 shares at an average price per share of $317.92 and $255.93, respectively.
