Common Stock Repurchase

NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program’s authorization does not have an expiration date.

Under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase stock from time to time through open market transactions, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, or by other means. The timing and actual number of any stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, our stock price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion without notice. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $215.3 million.

Because of the additional outstanding indebtedness we incurred in connection with the Transporeon acquisition, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we have temporarily discontinued our stock repurchases. See Note 3 “Acquisition” of this report for information regarding our acquisition of Transporeon.

During the second quarter and first two quarters of 2022, we repurchased approximately 3.1 million and 4.6 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $65.38 and $66.42 per share for a total of $200.0 million and $304.7 million under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program.

Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock based on par value and additional-paid-in-capital, determined by the average book value per share of outstanding stock, calculated at the time of each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.
