Stock repurchases

In each of January 2021 and November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock. The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which these authorizations would expire. Shares repurchased under these authorizations become treasury shares.

For the six months ended August 31, 2024, we repurchased 1,778,281 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2021 Authorization through open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $449.2 million.

As of August 31, 2024, total shares repurchased under our board authorizations are as follows:

			Class A Stock
	Repurchase Authorization		Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
(in millions, except share data)
2021 Authorization (1)	$	2,000.0	$	1,835.5	7,653,557
2023 Authorization (1)	$	2,000.0	$	—	—

(1)As of August 31, 2024, an aggregate of $2,164.5 million remains available for future share repurchases, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA.
