On November 4, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $150 million of outstanding common stock (GTN) and/or Class A common stock (GTN.A) through December 31, 2023. The Company has not yet repurchased any shares under this expanded authorization. This additional authorization increases the total capacity under Gray's share repurchase program to $220 million when combined with the approximately $70 million remaining under its previous authorization. Share repurchases would be implemented through purchases made from time to time in either the open market or private transactions in accordance with applicable securities law requirements, including Rule 10b5-1. The extent to which the we repurchase any of our shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. We are not required to repurchase a minimum number of shares, and the repurchase authorizations may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. Issuance of and Redemption of Notes. On October 19, 2020, we issued $800 million of our 2030 Notes and used the net proceeds therefrom, after deducting transaction fees and estimated expenses, to redeem all of our outstanding 2024 Notes and to pay all fees and expenses in connection with the offering, including the redemption premium applicable to the 2024 Notes. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which could include the repayment of outstanding debt from time to time. The interest rate and yield on the 2030 Notes is 4.75%. The 2030 Notes rank equally with the 2027 Notes and the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes mature on October 15, 2030. Interest is payable semiannually, on April 15 and October 15 of each year. Lubbock Transactions. On October 18, 2020, Gray entered into agreements with Ramar Communications, Inc.
