Accumulated Stockholders' Deficit

5.   Accumulated Stockholders’ Deficit

In August 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock over an approximate four-year period expiring on September 30, 2021 (the “2017 Share Repurchase Program”) and terminated our similar share repurchase program approved by our Board in 2014 (the “2014 Share Repurchase Program”). During the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we repurchased and subsequently retired approximately 9.9 million and 13.1 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $164.6 million and $286.5 million, excluding common stock surrendered by grantees to satisfy tax withholding obligations, under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program and the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, respectively. We reduced common stock and additional paid-in capital, in the aggregate, by these amounts. However, as required by GAAP, to the extent that share repurchase amounts exceeded the balance of additional paid-in capital prior to our recording of such repurchases, we recorded the excess in accumulated deficit.

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) was as follows (in thousands):
