​ Share Repurchases ​ On October 24, 2023, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program to increase the remaining repurchase authorization to $1.5 billion effective October 30, 2023. Our $1.0 billion share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on July 26, 2022 had remaining repurchase authorization of $261.5 million as of the date of the renewal. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, does not have a specific expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. As of December 31, 2023, we had remaining authorization under the plan to repurchase $1.44 billion of our common shares. We repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to a combination of one or more open market repurchases and transactions structured through investment banking institutions in reliance upon Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. ​ Our share repurchase activity for the past three years consisted of the following: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Average Cost | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Shares |  | Per Share |  | Amount

​ The table above excludes taxes paid for shares withheld to settle employees’ tax withholding obligations related to net share settlements upon the vesting of restricted stock units of $54.1 million, $39.7 million and $21.2 million for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, our share repurchases exclude excise tax due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. ​ ​ Preferred Stock ​ We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. No shares of our preferred stock are issued and outstanding. Our restated articles of incorporation provide that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series by the Board. The Board can fix the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions and limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of each series of preferred stock. The rights of preferred stockholders may supersede the rights of common stockholders. ​ Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ​ Accumulated other comprehensive loss included the following: ​

​ Foreign currency translation adjustments have not been adjusted for income taxes. Pension and postretirement benefit plan adjustments are amortized over service periods and reflected in the amortization of net loss component of our net periodic benefit cost or are otherwise recognized as a loss as a result of plan settlements. ​ Pension and postretirement benefit adjustments are net of taxes of $0.7 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in our income tax provision as obligations under our pension and postretirement plans are settled. In 2022, $0.3 million of income tax effects were released related to the partial settlement of the Reliance SERP. See Note 13—“Employee Benefits” for further information on our 2022 plan settlement.
