During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 5,557 shares of its common stock for $348,801 at an average price of $62.77 per share. The Company also repurchased 5,889 shares of its common stock for $352,873 at an average price of $59.92 per share, subsequent to September 30, 2017.
On October 10, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase authorization in the amount of $1,252,961. This share repurchase authorization was in addition to the $247,039 remaining at that time under the Company’s Board of Directors’ prior share repurchase authorization announced in July 2016. Accordingly, as of November 7, 2017, the Company has a total of $1,228,391 available under the current Board repurchase authorizations for additional share repurchases. Although these share repurchase authorizations do not have expiration dates, the Company remains subject to share repurchase limitations under the terms of its senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing its senior notes.
