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. In July 2024, Citibank delivered 299,443 additional shares which completed the ASR Program. During 2024, the Company received a total of 2,869,282 shares upon completion of the ASR Agreement. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASR Agreement was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the ASR Program, less a discount, which was $174.26 over the term of the ASR Program.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, exclusive of the ASR Program, there were no share repurchases. As of September 30, 2024, 17,130,718 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the August 2023 share repurchase authorization.
