Earnings Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) Earnings Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share include the weighted-average effect of dilutive restricted stock units, performance share units and stock options (collectively, "Dilutive Awards") on the weighted-average common shares outstanding.
The following table provides the weighted-average shares utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarters of and year-to-date 2022 and 2021:

Under the July 2021 Program, the Company repurchased an additional 11 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $770 million during the third and fourth quarters of 2021.
2022 Repurchase Program
In February 2022, the Board authorized a new $1.5 billion share repurchase program (the "February 2022 Program"). As part of the February 2022 Program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase program ("ASR") under which the Company repurchased $1 billion of its own outstanding common stock. The delivery of shares under the ASR resulted in an immediate reduction of the Company's outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share. Pursuant to the Board's authorization, the Company made other share repurchases in the open market under the February 2022 Program during 2022.
On February 4, 2022, the Company delivered $1 billion to the ASR bank, and the bank delivered 13.6 million shares of common stock to the Company (the "Initial Shares"). Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, the Initial Shares represented 80% of the number of shares determined by dividing the $1 billion Company payment by the closing price of its common stock on February 2, 2022.
In May 2022, the Company received an additional 6.7 million shares of its common stock from the ASR bank for the final settlement of the ASR. The final number of shares of common stock delivered under the ASR was based generally upon a discount to the average daily Rule 10b-18 volume-weighted average price at which the shares of common stock traded during the regular trading sessions on the NYSE during the term of the repurchase period. In connection with the final settlement, in the second quarter the Company reclassified the $200 million recorded in Paid-in Capital as of April 30, 2022.
The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock during year-to-date 2022:

The February 2022 Program had $188 million of remaining authority as of July 30, 2022.
Common Stock Retirement
Shares of common stock repurchased under the July 2021 Program were retired and cancelled upon repurchase. As a result, the Company retired the 10 million shares repurchased under the July 2021 Program in the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in reductions of $5 million in the par value of Common Stock, $32 million in Paid-in Capital and $693 million in Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit).
Shares of common stock repurchased under the February 2022 Program were retired and cancelled upon repurchase, including shares repurchased under the ASR. As a result, the Company retired the 27 million shares repurchased under the February 2022 Program during 2022, which resulted in reductions of $13 million in the par value of Common Stock, $87 million in Paid-in Capital and $1.212 billion in Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit).
Dividends
The Board suspended the Company's quarterly cash dividend beginning in the second quarter of 2020. In March 2021, the Board reinstated the annual dividend at $0.60 per share, beginning with the quarterly dividend paid in June 2021. In February 2022, the Board increased the annual dividend to $0.80 per share, beginning with the quarterly dividend paid in March 2022.
