Subsequent to June 30, 2021 and through the period ended July 19, 2021, we repurchased 920 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $137.5 million and an average price of $149.57 per common share.
On July 12, 2021, the Company issued 20,000,000 Depositary Shares, each of which represents a 1/1,000th interest in a share of the Company’s 4.20% Series G Preference Shares, $1.00 par value and $25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share), for gross aggregate proceeds of $500.0 million. The net proceeds from this offering will be used to redeem all of the outstanding 5.375% Series E Preference Shares, and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes.
On July 12, 2021, the Company announced the redemption of all 11,000,000 of its outstanding 5.375% Series E Preference Shares. The 5.375% Series E Preference Shares are anticipated to be redeemed on August 11, 2021 for $275.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Following the redemption, no 5.375% Series E Preference Shares will remain outstanding.
In July 2021, Northwestern Europe experienced severe flooding which has caused widespread damage. The Company is in the preliminary stage of assessing the impact of this event on the Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2021. It is difficult at this time to provide an accurate estimate of the financial impact of this event, including as a result of the preliminary nature of the information available and provided thus far by industry participants, the magnitude and recent occurrence of the event, and other factors. The estimated losses for this event will be reported in the Company's third quarter of 2021 financial results.
