NOTE 18. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

Since July 29, 2016, our Board of Directors has approved our share repurchase program pursuant to which we are currently authorized to repurchase up to $1,200.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2023 (the “Program”). We currently have $583.8 million remaining under the Board’s repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2021.

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, 2021, we repurchased 0.1 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $10.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $79.60 per share. Since inception, through March 31, 2021, we have repurchased 9.8 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $616.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $62.57 per share.
