NOTE 20. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On July 29, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through July 31, 2018 (the “Program”). On October 30, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional $250.0 million authorization to repurchase shares under the Program. The Program was also extended through October 31, 2020. On July 31, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional $300.0 million authorization to repurchase shares, increasing the total authorized amount under the Program to $700.0 million, excluding commissions.

Repurchases under the Program may be made through open market, block and privately-negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Program does not obligate AWI to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 0.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $34.4 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $89.99 per share. Since inception, through March 31, 2020, we have repurchased 9.6 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $596.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $62.13 per share. During March 2020, we temporarily suspended our share repurchase program.

Dividends

In February 2020, our Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share quarterly dividend to be paid in March 2020. On April 22, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share quarterly dividend to be paid in May 2020.
