We repurchase our common stock mainly through open market repurchase plans and, at times, through accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") programs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased and retired 4,515,626 shares of our common stock at a cost, including commissions, of $649.7 million, or $143.95 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased and retired 3,955,400 shares of our common stock at a cost including commissions, of $783.0 million, or $198.00 per share. The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included the repurchase of 2,491,161 shares at an average price of $200.71 per share under an ASR agreement we entered into on February 10, 2021 with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $500 million of our common stock during the ASR program purchase period, which ended on March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining amount available under our share repurchase program was $1,707.0 million.

On April 28, 2022, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on June 24, 2022 to common shareholders of record as of June 10, 2022.
