Note 9. Equity

Dividends

On April 20, 2021, our Board of Directors declared the 2021 second quarter cash dividend of $0.6875 per share of common stock, payable on June 11, 2021 to stockholders of record as of May 28, 2021.

During the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.6875 and $0.625 per share, or $43.8 million and $41.0 million in total, respectively. In addition, we paid $1.0 million and $0.9 million in dividend equivalents with respect to vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We make annual grants of long-term incentive awards to officers and key employees in the forms of service-based and performance-based RSUs that have approximately 3-year vesting periods. The performance-based RSU awards are subject to both service criteria and performance goals based on the Company’s return on assets. We also make annual

grants of stock to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors that vest immediately upon grant. The fair value of the RSUs and stock grants is determined based on the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date.

In the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, we made payments of $8.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively, to tax authorities on our employees’ behalf for shares withheld related to net share settlements. These payments are reflected in the Stock-based compensation, net caption of our consolidated statements of equity.

A summary of the status of our unvested service-based and performance-based RSUs as of March 31, 2021 and changes during the quarter then ended is as follows:

Share Repurchase Plan

On October 23, 2018, our Board of Directors amended our share repurchase plan, increasing the total authorized number of shares available to be repurchased by 5.0 million and extending the duration of the plan through December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we had remaining authorization under the plan to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares, or approximately 4% of our current outstanding shares. We repurchase shares through open market purchases under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. There were no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2021 compared to share repurchases in the first quarter of 2020 of approximately 3.3 million shares at an average cost of $90.09, for a total of $300.0 million. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

Foreign currency translation adjustments have not been adjusted for income taxes. Pension and postretirement benefit adjustments are net of taxes of $5.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The income tax effects relating to our pension and postretirement benefit adjustments are reflected in our income tax provision in future periods as the pension and postretirement benefit adjustments are amortized over service periods and reflected in the amortization of net loss component of our net periodic benefit cost or are otherwise released and recognized as a settlement loss as a result of a plan termination.
