The Board has authorized a share repurchase program, as amended, to allow repurchases of up to $1.5 billion of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock (Repurchase Program). Repurchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on the share price, general market and economic conditions and other considerations, including compliance with various debt agreements as they may be amended from time to time. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Through December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 41.5 million shares of its Common Stock for $1,340.3 million (14.6 million shares for $329.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2019; 21.1 million shares for $834.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018; and 5.8 million shares for $175.7 million during the period April 2 through December 31, 2017), which included commissions paid of $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2019, there was $160.5 million available for repurchase under the Repurchase Program. No additional repurchases are currently planned. On August 14, 2018, Peabody Energy Corporation entered into a share repurchase agreement (the Share Repurchase Agreement) by and among the Company and its related parties, Elliott Associates, LP, Liverpool Limited Partnership and Sprayberry Investments Inc. to repurchase 7.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $300 million, which is included in the total amount of repurchases noted above. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the purchase price per share of $41.82 represented a 1.7% discount from the closing sale price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 13, 2018. The repurchase transaction was made in conjunction with the Company’s existing share repurchase program and closed on August 21, 2018. Shares relinquished. The Company routinely allows employees to relinquish Common Stock to pay estimated taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units and the payout of performance units that are settled in Common Stock under its equity incentive plans. The number of shares of Common Stock relinquished was 0.4 million for both the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The value of the Common Stock tendered by employees was based upon the closing price on the dates of the respective transactions.
