We account for treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Repurchase Program 
To facilitate our stock repurchase program, designed to return value to our stockholders and minimize dilution from stock issuances, we may repurchase shares in the open market or enter into structured repurchase agreements with third parties. Our Board of Directors has approved our stock repurchase program wherein we were granted authority to repurchase common stock up to a specified amount and period. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase authority to repurchase up to $2.5 billion in common stock through the end of fiscal 2019.
During the nine months ended September 1, 2017 and September 2, 2016, we entered into several structured stock repurchase agreements with large financial institutions, whereupon we provided them with prepayments totaling $800 million and $775 million, respectively. Of the $800 million prepayment during the nine months ended September 1, 2017, $300 million was under the new $2.5 billion stock repurchase authority and the remaining $500 million was under the previous $2 billion stock repurchase authority. We enter into these agreements in order to take advantage of repurchasing shares at a guaranteed discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of our common stock over a specified period of time. We only enter into such transactions when the discount that we receive is higher than the foregone return on our cash prepayments to the financial institutions. There were no explicit commissions or fees on these structured repurchases. Under the terms of the agreements, there is no requirement for the financial institutions to return any portion of the prepayment to us.
The financial institutions agree to deliver shares to us at monthly intervals during the contract term. The parameters used to calculate the number of shares deliverable are: the total notional amount of the contract, the number of trading days in the contract, the number of trading days in the interval and the average VWAP of our stock during the interval less the agreed upon discount. During the nine months ended September 1, 2017, we repurchased approximately 6.3 million shares at an average price of $126.58 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2016 and the nine months ended September 1, 2017. During the nine months ended September 2, 2016 we repurchased approximately 7.3 million shares at an average price of $93.87 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2015 and the nine months ended September 2, 2016.
For the nine months ended September 1, 2017, the prepayments were classified as treasury stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the payment date, though only shares physically delivered to us by September 1, 2017 were excluded from the computation of earnings per share. As of September 1, 2017, $98.8 million of prepayment remained under this agreement.
Subsequent to September 1, 2017, as part of the $2.5 billion stock repurchase authority approved in January 2017, we entered into a structured stock repurchase agreement with a large financial institution whereupon we provided them with a prepayment of $300 million. This amount will be classified as treasury stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of the $300 million stock repurchase agreement, $1.9 billion remains under our current authority.
