Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase a specified dollar amount of our common stock from time to time. The program does not require a specific number of shares to be purchased and the program may be effected through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program may be terminated or suspended at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2019 we repurchased approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $100 million. There were 10.5 million repurchases made under the program during the year ended December 31, 2018. Approximately $5.2 billion remained authorized for repurchases as of December 31, 2019. From the inception of this program in February 2006 through December 31, 2019, we repurchased approximately 217 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of approximately $8.9 billion.
