Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Shareholders’ Equity

On January 25, 2019, our board of directors ("Board") approved a $300 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. During 2019, we purchased 2.0 million shares of common stock for $150.0 million. In 2018, we purchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $115.5 million. In 2017, we purchased 1.7 million shares of common stock for $100.0 million. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of share repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors.

In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, 120 million shares of common stock are authorized, at a par value of $0.625 per share. As of December 31, 2019, 67.5 million shares were issued and 34.8 million shares were outstanding.

The following shares of common stock were reserved as of December 31, 2019 (in millions):



GATX Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan	2.1
GATX Corporation 2012 Incentive Award Plan	6.4
Total	8.5

Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes five million shares of preferred stock at a par value of $1.00 per share. We had no outstanding shares of preferred stock as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
