Lear Corporation Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Share Repurchase Program

In February 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $661 million increase to the existing common stock share repurchase program to provide for aggregate repurchases of $1 billion and extended the term of the program to December 31, 2017. In the first nine months of 2015, the Company paid $383.0 million in aggregate for repurchases of its common stock (3,525,301 shares at an average purchase price of $108.66 per share, excluding commissions). As of the date of this Report, the Company has a remaining repurchase authorization of $617.0 million under its ongoing common stock share repurchase program. The Company may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company will repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. In addition, the Company’s Credit Agreement places certain limitations on the Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock.

Since the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized $2.9 billion in share repurchases under its common stock share repurchase program. As of the date of this Report, the Company has paid $2.3 billion in aggregate for repurchases of its outstanding common stock, at an average price of $66.75 per share excluding commissions and related fees, since the first quarter of 2011.

In addition to shares repurchased under the Company’s common stock share repurchase program described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company classified shares withheld from the settlement of the Company’s restricted stock unit and performance share awards to cover minimum tax withholding requirements as common stock held in treasury in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 26, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Quarterly Dividend

In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.25 and $0.20 per share of common stock, respectively. In the first nine months of 2015, declared dividends totaled $59.9 million, and dividends paid totaled $60.0 million. In the first nine months of 2014, declared dividends totaled $50.7 million and dividends paid totaled $49.6 million. Dividends payable on common shares to be distributed under the Company’s stock-based compensation program and common shares contemplated as part of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be paid when such common shares are distributed.

Noncontrolling Interests

In the first nine months of 2014, the Company acquired noncontrolling interests in certain of its consolidated subsidiaries.
