Note 11. Stockholders' Equity
2010 Stock Incentive Plan. In May 2010 the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Stock Plan”), which was most recently amended in April 2023, for issuance of common stock to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and scientific advisors. Awards under the 2010 Stock Plan include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance shares (“PSUs”).
2024 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. In January 2024, our Board of Directors adopted the Incyte Corporation 2024 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Inducement Plan”). In reliance on Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4), stockholder approval was not obtained. A total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2024 Inducement Plan.
Share Repurchase and Modified "Dutch Auction" Tender Offer. On May 13, 2024 we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of $2.0 billion. Subsequently, we commenced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.672 billion (the “tender offer”). We offered to purchase up to $1.672 billion in value of our common stock at a price not greater than $60.00 per share nor less than $52.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the tender offer documents that were distributed to stockholders. A modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer allows stockholders to indicate how much stock they wish to tender and at what price within the range described above. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, we determined the lowest price per share that enabled us to purchase $1.672 billion of common stock at such price, or a lower amount depending on the number of shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. On June 13, 2024 we completed the tender offer and repurchased 27,866,666 shares at a price of $60.00 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $1.672 billion, excluding fees and related expenses, pursuant to the tender offer which expired at 12:00 midnight, at the end of the day, New York City time on June 10, 2024.
In addition, on May 12, 2024, we entered into a separate stock purchase agreement with Julian C. Baker (a member of our Board of Directors), Felix J. Baker, and entities affiliated with Julian C. and Felix J. Baker, including funds advised by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (collectively, the “Baker Entities”), to repurchase up to $328.0 million of our common stock. This would enable the Baker Entities to maintain their ownership level as of May 9, 2024 of approximately 16.4% of Incyte’s outstanding common stock. The Baker Entities purchase was to be at the same price per share as is determined and paid in the tender offer. On June 26, 2024, we repurchased 5,459,183 shares at a price of $60.00 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $328.0 million pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement with the Baker Entities.
We account for share repurchases as retirements, whereby it reduces common stock and additional paid-in capital by the amount of the original issuance, with any excess purchase price recorded as a reduction to retained earnings (accumulated deficit). Any transaction costs, including the excise tax, directly associated with the share repurchases are included as part of the purchase price. Under this method, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock are reduced by the number of shares of common stock repurchased, and no treasury stock is recognized on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
A total of 33,325,849 common shares were repurchased during June 2024 at a price of $60.00 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.0 billion. We incurred $24.3 million in fees and expenses associated with the share repurchase, which included $19.2 million for excise taxes on share repurchases in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. We currently expect to pay the excise tax in the second quarter of 2025. These costs were recognized within (Accumulated deficit) retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as costs to repurchase the Company’s common stock. The purchased shares were cancelled and ceased to be outstanding.
