EQUITY

On November 11, 2015, we entered into ASR agreements to repurchase an aggregate of $6.0 billion of our common stock utilizing the net after-tax proceeds from the sale of Sikorsky. Under the terms of the ASR agreements, we made the aggregate payments and received an initial delivery of approximately 51.9 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be repurchased. In 2016, the shares associated with the remaining portion of the aggregate purchase were settled upon final delivery to us of approximately 10.1 million additional shares of common stock. Including the remaining shares settled in 2016, the final price under the November 11, 2015 ASR was $96.74 per share.

On March 13, 2015, we entered into ASR agreements to repurchase an aggregate of $2.65 billion of our common stock. Under the terms of the ASR agreements, we made the aggregate payments and received an initial delivery of approximately 18.6 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be repurchased. On July 31, 2015, the shares associated with the remaining portion of the aggregate purchase were settled upon final delivery of approximately 4.2 million additional shares of common stock. Including the remaining shares settled on July 31, 2015, the final price under the ASR was $116.11 per share.

As discussed in Note 9, on August 3, 2015, we received approximately $1.1 billion from the proceeds of the remarketing of our 1.550% junior subordinated notes, which were originally issued as part of our equity units on June 18, 2012, and issued approximately 11.3 million shares of common stock to settle the purchase obligation of the holders of the equity units under the purchase contract entered into at the time of the original issuance of the equity units.

Amounts reclassified related to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented (see Note 12 for additional details).

Changes in noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control, and where there is a difference between fair value and carrying value, are accounted for as equity transactions. The pro-forma (decrease) increase in Net income attributable to common shareowners would have been $(8) million, $12 million and $(71) million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, had they been recorded through net income.
