Share Repurchase Programs
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the following share repurchase programs which were active during Year-To-Date 2019 and Year-To-Date 2018: (1) $250 million in March 2017 (the "2017 Share Repurchase Program"); and (2) $250 million in March 2018 (the "2018 Share Repurchase Program"). The 2017 Share Repurchase Program has been completed. At November 2, 2019, there was approximately $146.0 million remaining on the 2018 Share Repurchase Program. Under these programs, the Company may repurchase shares on the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under a program will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions. The Company may suspend or discontinue a program at any time and may thereafter reinstitute purchases, all without prior announcement.
Pursuant to the Company's practice, including due to restrictions imposed by the Company's insider trading policy during black-out periods, the Company withholds and repurchases shares of vesting stock awards and makes payments to taxing authorities as required by law to satisfy the withholding tax requirements of all equity award recipients. The Company's payment of the withholding taxes in exchange for the surrendered shares constitutes a purchase of its common stock. The Company also acquires shares of its common stock in conjunction with liabilities owed under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan, which are held in treasury.
The following table summarizes the Company's share repurchases:
