Share Repurchases

In August 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new standing share repurchase authorization whereby the Company may repurchase up to 20 million shares beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.

On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a $500,000 accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") to repurchase its shares in an accelerated share repurchase program (the "ASR Program"). The ASR Program is classified as equity, initially recorded at fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company conducted the ASR Program under the current share repurchase authorization. The Company funded the ASR Program with proceeds from commercial paper.

Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company paid Citibank $500,000 on March 1, 2024 and on that date received initial delivery of 2,569,839 shares, representing a substantial majority of the shares expected to be retired over the course of the ASR Agreement. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASR Agreement will be based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the ASR Program, less a discount. The ASR Program is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2024, subject to postponement or acceleration under the terms of the ASR Agreement. The impact of any shares that may be received at the completion of the ASR Program is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The actual number of shares repurchased will be determined at the completion of the ASR Program.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, exclusive of the ASR Program, there were no share repurchases. As of June 30, 2024, 17,430,161 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the August 2023 share repurchase authorization.
