During the third quarter of 2023, BMS entered into accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreements to repurchase an aggregate amount of $4.0 billion of the Company's common stock. The ASR agreements were funded with cash on-hand and are expected to settle in the fourth quarter of 2023. Approximately 56 million shares of common stock (85% of the $4.0 billion aggregate repurchase price) were received by BMS and included in treasury stock as of September 30, 2023. The total number of shares to be repurchased under the ASR agreements will be based on volume-weighted average prices of BMS's common stock during the terms of the ASR transactions less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreements. In addition, as part of its share repurchase program, BMS repurchased 17 million shares of its common stock for $1.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The remaining share repurchase capacity under the BMS share repurchase program was approximately $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2023.

During the first quarter of 2022, BMS entered into ASR agreements to repurchase an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion of the Company's common stock. The ASR agreements were funded with cash on-hand and 65 million shares of common stock (85% of the $5.0 billion aggregate repurchase price) were received by BMS and included in treasury stock. The remaining amounts in the ASR agreements were settled in two tranches during the second and third quarters of 2022 and 4 million shares of common stock were received by BMS and transferred to treasury stock.
