Stock Repurchases

Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $4.0 billion to repurchase shares of our common stock (collectively referred to as the "Share Repurchase Plans"), including a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization in July 2021. 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 September 30, 2021, $846 million was available for repurchase 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 our common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, we paid Wells Fargo Bank $200.0 million and Wells Fargo Bank delivered to us common stock representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be purchased under this ASR Agreement. The ASR was completed in April 2021 and Wells Fargo Bank delivered a total of 0.7 million shares of common stock repurchased under this ASR Agreement.

On May 3, 2021, we entered into an ASR Agreement with Bank of America, to effect an accelerated stock buyback of our common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, we paid Bank of America $200.0 million and Bank of America delivered to us common stock representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be purchased under this ASR Agreement. The ASR was completed in June 2021 and Bank of America delivered a total of 0.6 million shares of common stock repurchased under this ASR Agreement.

On August 2, 2021, we entered into an ASR Agreement with Bank of America, to effect an accelerated stock buyback of our common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, we paid Bank of America $200.0 million and Bank of America delivered to us common stock representing approximately 85% of the shares expected to be purchased under this ASR Agreement. The ASR was completed in September 2021 and Bank of America delivered a total of 0.6 million shares of common stock repurchased under this ASR Agreement.

We also repurchased shares for $16.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from employees who tendered their shares to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations upon the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards.
