Shareholders' Equity

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Split –On May 23, 2013, our certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from $120.0 million to $305.0 million and enable a three-for-one stock split approved by the Board of Directors on February 7, 2013 in the form of a 200% common stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was June 7, 2013, and additional shares were distributed on June 21, 2013. As a result of the three-for-one stock split, 117,861,772 shares of common stock were issued. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $1.25 per share, which required $147.3 million to be retrospectively reclassified from capital in excess of par value to common shares all within the shareholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. For periods prior to 2013, shareholders' equity and all share data, including treasury shares and stock-based compensation award shares, and per share data presented herein have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the increase in authorized shares and the stock split, as appropriate.

Dividends - On February 15, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.18 per share to $0.19 per share payable beginning on April 8, 2016. On February 16, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.16 per share to $0.18 per share payable beginning on April 10, 2015. On February 17, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.14 per share to $0.16 per share payable beginning on April 11, 2014. On February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.12 per share to $0.14 per share payable beginning on April 12, 2013. Generally, our dividend date-of-record is in the last month of the quarter, and the dividend is paid the following month. Any subsequent dividends will be reviewed by our Board of Directors and declared at its discretion dependent on its assessment of our financial situation and business outlook at the applicable time.

Share Repurchase Program – On November 13, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million share repurchase authorization, which included approximately $175 million of remaining capacity under the prior $750.0 million share repurchase authorization. Our share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and we reserve the right to limit or terminate the repurchase program at anytime without notice.

We repurchased 6,047,839, 3,420,656 and 8,142,723 shares for $303.7 million, $246.5 million and $458.3 million during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, we have $160.7 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program.
