On July 27, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $2.1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and at the Company's discretion in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions and subject to compliance with the Company's obligations under certain tax agreements.

In accordance with the ASR Agreement, the Company received initial delivery of 7.6 million shares on January 4, 2022, representing approximately 80% of the expected share repurchases. The final number of shares under the ASR Agreement was based on the daily average of the volume-weighted average share price of the Company's common stock over the term of the ASR Agreement. Upon final settlement, the Company received an additional 2.7 million shares on February 8, 2022 and recognized $500 million in Treasury stock as a reduction in equity.
