- Definition Tabular disclosure of accelerated share repurchase (ASR) programs. An ASR is a combination of transactions that permits an entity to purchase a targeted number of shares immediately with the final purchase price of those shares determined by an average market price over a fixed period of time. An accelerated share repurchase program is intended to combine the immediate share retirement benefits of a tender offer with the market impact and pricing benefits of a disciplined daily open market stock repurchase program. ASRs can be disclosed as part of stockholders' equity. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 505 -SubTopic 30 -Section 25 -Paragraph 5 -URI https://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6405686&loc=d3e22802-112653 + Details
