Share Repurchases
In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the 2012 Share Repurchase Program and through subsequent amendments, the most recent in March 2017, the total repurchase authorization was increased from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock. The program has no expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Purchases under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program are subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased 512 thousand shares of the Company's common stock for $150.0 million, at an average purchase price of $292.7 per share. During fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, we repurchased 537 thousand shares of our common stock for $156.1 million under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares. At October 31, 2019, $407.4 million remained authorized for repurchase under the program.
