Stock Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase $7 billion of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

In connection with the stock repurchase program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement in February 2023, under which the Company paid a third-party financial institution $1 billion and received an initial delivery of approximately 22.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock, representing 80% of the shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR agreement, at a price of $35.54 per share, which was the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) closing share price of the Class A Common Stock on February 8, 2023. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement in August 2023, the Company received a final delivery of approximately 7.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The final number of shares purchased under the ASR agreement was determined using a price of $33.03 per share (the volume-

weighted average market price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during the term of the ASR agreement less a discount). The Company accounted for the ASR agreement as two separate transactions. The initial delivery of Class A Common Stock was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction recorded on the acquisition date. The final settlement of Class A Common Stock was accounted for as a forward contract indexed to the Class A Common Stock and qualified as an equity transaction.

In total, the Company repurchased approximately 32 million shares of Class A Common Stock for approximately $750 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Repurchased shares are retired and reduce the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Company allocates the amount of the repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s remaining stock repurchase authorization was approximately $1.65 billion. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock for approximately $50 million.
