Pursuant to our restated certificate of incorporation, as of September 30, 2021, the Board had the authority to issue up to a total of 100,500,000 shares of common stock. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders. In addition, holders of our common stock will vote as a single class of stock on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders.

In May 2018, the Board authorized us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock under our share repurchase program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not purchase any shares under the program. As of September 30, 2021, up to $245.0 million of common stock remained available for purchase under our program. The timing and amount of share repurchases, if any, will be determined based on market conditions, limitations under the Amended Credit Agreement, share price, available cash and other factors, and the share repurchase program may be terminated at any time.

The Groupon, Inc. Stock Plans (the "Plans") are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). As of September 30, 2021, 2,852,119 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the Plans.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we also granted performance share units subject to a market condition ("Market-based Performance Share Units").

Our Performance Share Units and Market-based Performance Share Units are subject to continued employment through the performance period dictated by the award and certification by the Compensation Committee that the specified performance conditions have been achieved.
