Share Repurchase Program
On October 13, 2015, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Board of Directors announced the authorization of a $3.0 billion share repurchase program. On May 24, 2016, the Board of Directors announced the authorization of an additional $3.0 billion under the share repurchase program. The Company's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions and does not have a specific expiration date. The Company may choose to repurchase shares when sufficient liquidity exists and the shares are trading at a discount relative to estimated intrinsic value.
For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Company retired a total of 59 million shares in connection with its share repurchase programs through open market repurchases, which were recorded as a $1.3 billion reduction to stockholders' equity. Additionally, for the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Company had unsettled open market repurchases of 2.1 million shares, which were recorded as a $39 million reduction to stockholders' equity. As of April 30, 2017, the Company had a remaining authorization of $2.0 billion for future share repurchases.
