Common Stock. In July 2018, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase authorization to repurchase up to 25.0 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Shares are repurchased by the Corporation to, among other things, manage the Corporation’s capital levels. Repurchased shares are used for general purposes, including the issuance of shares under stock option and other incentive plans. The repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors has no expiration date.

On June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board imposed restrictions that were designed to cause large bank holding companies to preserve capital, including suspending share repurchases, capping dividend payments, and only allowing common stock dividends according to a formula based on recent income. On December 18, 2020, the Federal Reserve extended its capital distribution limits into the first quarter of 2021 with certain modifications, which included continuing to limit dividend payments and share repurchases based on recent income. In the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation restarted its share repurchase program in accordance with such limitations. During the current quarter, the Corporation repurchased 252,304 shares of common stock, including 1,480 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $30.2 million ($119.59 average price per share). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation repurchased 1,651,977 shares of common stock, including 367,177 shares withheld related to share-based compensation, at a total cost of $165.8 million ($100.38 average price per share). On June 24, 2021, the Federal Reserve Board released the results of the annual bank stress tests and announced the additional capital distribution restrictions that were put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic would expire on June 30, 2021.
