On November 11, 2015, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements to repurchase an aggregate of $6 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 aggregate payments and received an initial delivery of approximately 51.9 million shares of our common stock in November 2015, representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be repurchased. The shares associated with the remaining portion of the aggregate purchase were settled upon delivery to us of approximately 2.1 million additional shares of common stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and approximately 8.0 million additional shares of common stock in the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
