Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Stock Repurchases

Our Board of Directors have authorized a total of $3 billion to repurchase shares of our common stock (collectively referred to as the "Share Repurchase Plans"), including a $500 million share repurchase authorization in December 2019. Under this program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions and in privately negotiated transactions based on business, market, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The repurchase program does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time. As of March 31, 2021, $246 million of shares may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plans.

On February 4, 2021, we entered into a Fixed Dollar Accelerated Share Repurchase Transaction (the "ASR Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, to effect an accelerated stock buyback of the Company's common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, we paid Wells Fargo Bank $200.0 million and Wells Fargo Bank delivered to us 0.6 million shares of common stock representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be purchased under the ASR Agreement. The ASR was completed in April 2021 and Wells Fargo Bank delivered an additional 0.1 million shares of common stock for a total of 0.7 million shares of common stock repurchased under this ASR Agreement.

We also repurchased shares for $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from employees who tendered their shares to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations upon the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards.
