Captial Stock [Abstract] |
CAPITAL STOCK | CAPITAL STOCK Dividends In the first three months of 2019, we paid cash dividends of $37 million on our common stock. This amount excludes dividends earned on stock based compensation plans. On April 8, 2019, the Board of Directors (or duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $0.16 per share of common stock, or approximately $37 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on June 3, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2019. Future quarterly dividends are subject to Board approval. Common Stock Repurchases On September 18, 2013, the Board of Directors approved our common stock repurchase program. From time to time, the Board of Directors has approved increases in the amount authorized to be purchased under that program. On February 2, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to an aggregate of $2.1 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2019, and is intended to be used, subject to our cash flow, to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first quarter of 2019, we did not repurchase any common stock. Since 2013, we repurchased 52,905,959 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $28.99 per share, or $1,534 million in the aggregate. In addition, we may repurchase shares delivered to us by employees as payment for the exercise price of stock options and the withholding taxes due upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting or payment of stock awards. During the first quarter of 2019, we did not repurchase any shares from employees.
