NOTE 13. CAPITAL STOCK

Dividends

In the first three months of 2020, we paid cash dividends of $37 million on our common stock.  This amount excludes dividends earned on stock-based compensation plans of approximately $1 million.  On April 16, 2020, we announced that we have suspended the quarterly dividend on our common stock.

Common Stock Repurchases

We may repurchase shares delivered to us by employees as payment for the exercise price of stock options and the withholding taxes due upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting or payment of stock awards. During the first quarter of 2021, we did not repurchase any shares from employees.
