In August 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s common stock in addition to its existing share repurchase program, of which $107.2 million remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2019. Under this share repurchase program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company withheld approximately 0.5 million shares of its common stock to satisfy minimum statutory withholding obligations of $8.5 million in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and deferred stock.

The amount and timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including general economic and market conditions and trading restrictions.
