TREASURY STOCK TREASURY STOCK
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 12.7 million and 12.8 million shares of treasury stock outstanding with a cost of $646.4 million and $647.3 million, at a weighted average cost per share of $50.76 and $50.76, respectively.
On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into a $125 million accelerated share repurchase (“August 2023 ASR”) and received 2.3 million shares of common stock at inception of the August 2023 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the August 2023 ASR. On October 18, 2023 the early exercise provision was exercised by the August 2023 ASR counterparty. The Company received an additional 0.9 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the August 2023 ASR.
On January 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $150 million accelerated share repurchase (“January 2023 ASR”) and received 2.1 million shares of common stock at inception of the January 2023 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the January 2023 ASR. The settlement of the January 2023 ASR agreement was completed in the second quarter of 2023, where the Company received 0.6 million shares, determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the January 2023 ASR.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Act”) was signed into law. The Inflation Act implements a new excise tax of 1% on the net share repurchases made by the Company effective for share repurchases performed January 1, 2023, or after.
On July 18, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a new $225 million share repurchase program, replacing the existing $225 million program authorized in April 2022, under which $75 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement. As of March 31, 2024, $100 million remained authorized. The program authorized in July 2023 allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The Company may utilize various methods to effect any repurchases, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, including accelerated share repurchases, or a combination of the foregoing, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The price and timing of any future purchases under the share repurchase program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
