STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM | NOTE 13 STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM On October 20, 2016, the Company announced a new share repurchase authorization of up to $350 million of common stock. This new authorization replaced previous authorizations and has no expiration date. AptarGroup may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other programs, subject to market conditions. On December 16, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase approximately $250 million of its common stock under an accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR program”). The ASR program was part of the Company’s $350 million share repurchase authorization announced in October 2014. On December 17, 2014, the Company paid $250 million to Wells Fargo Bank N.A. ("Wells Fargo") in exchange for approximately 3.1 million shares. On September 25, 2015, the Company settled the ASR program with Wells Fargo and received approximately 719 thousand additional shares. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR program was approximately 3.8 million shares. Subsequent to the completion of the ASR program, the Company repurchased approximately 190 thousand shares in the open market in November 2015 at a total cost of $13.9 million. Prior to November 2015, shares repurchased were returned to Treasury Stock. Beginning with the shares purchased in November 2015 and with all subsequent repurchases, such shares are immediately retired. In 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares of its outstanding common stock at a total cost of $131.4 million. As of December 31, 2016, there was $303.4 million of authorized share repurchases available to the Company.
