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. This 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.
At July 31, 2020, $359.7 million remained authorized for repurchase under the program.
There were no share repurchases under the program during the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019. For the nine months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's share repurchases were as follows:
