Common Stock
WillScot Mobile Mini's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company had 189,967,135 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
In connection with stock compensation vesting and stock option exercises described in Note 16, and the warrant exercises described in Note 12, the Company issued 549,272, 3,847,905 and 6,752,647 shares of Common Stock during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reset of the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and equivalents. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing, business, legal, accounting, and other considerations. The Company may repurchase its shares in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with federal securities laws, at the Company's discretion. The repurchase program, which has no expiration date, may be increased, suspended, or terminated at any time. The program is expected to be implemented over the course of several years and will be conducted subject to the covenants in the agreements governing indebtedness.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted into law and imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. The Company reflected the applicable excise tax in equity as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 18,533,819 shares of Common Stock for $810.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 19,854,424 shares of Common Stock and stock equivalents for $756.9 million. As of December 31, 2023, $498.2 million of the authorization for future repurchases of our common stock remained available.
