Repurchases of Common Stock. On March 2, 2022 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new $150 million program to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock through August 2023 in open market or private transactions. The new authorization replaces the remaining $43.9 million that was available under the prior authorization. During the three months ended October 29, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its own common stock. As of October 29, 2022, $121.5 million of the authorization was available for repurchases.

Upon cancellation of shares repurchased or withheld for tax withholdings, the excess over par value is recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital until the balance is reduced to zero, with any additional excess recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. During the nine months ended October 29, 2022, $27.5 million was charged to retained earnings related to shares canceled during the period.
