On February 4, 2020, we announced that the Board authorized Adtalem’s twelfth share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300 million of its common stock through December 31, 2021. The new program will commence when the repurchases from the current program are complete. As of June 30, 2020, $345.2 million of authorized share repurchases were remaining under the current and twelfth share repurchase programs. Repurchases under the current program were suspended on March 12, 2020 due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Repurchases will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
