We are authorized to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $1. Common shareowners are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors, are entitled to one vote per share, and are entitled, in the event of liquidation, to share ratably in all the assets of Honeywell which are available for distribution to the common shareowners. Common shareowners do not have preemptive or conversion rights. Shares of common stock issued and outstanding or held in the treasury are not liable to further calls or assessments. There are no restrictions on us relative to dividends or the repurchase or redemption of common stock.

In December 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $8 billion of Honeywell common stock. Approximately $3.7 billion and $7.7 billion remained available as of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 for additional share repurchases.

We repurchased approximately 26.5 million and 20.5 million shares of our common stock in 2018 and 2017, for $4,000 million and $2,889 million.
