The information set forth under this “Item 7.01.

Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On August 14, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s existing share repurchase program, which was initially adopted in 2011, to (i) authorize an additional $200 million in repurchases (the “Authorization Increase”), thereby increasing the total amount authorized for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase program to $1.3 billion and (ii) extend its duration through December 31, 2026. Prior to the Authorization Increase, the Company has utilized $978 million, leaving remaining capacity of $122 million under the share repurchase program. With the Authorization Increase, the Company has $322 million in remaining capacity under the share repurchase program. As part of the share repurchase program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market share repurchases.
