Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholder Rights Plan

In January 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the adoption of a short-term stockholder rights plan, which expires in January 2018. Pursuant to the rights plan, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock, payable to holders of record as of the close of business on February 2, 2017. Each right, which is exercisable only in the event any person or group acquires a voting or economic position of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (with certain limited exceptions), would entitle any holder other than the person or group whose ownership position has exceeded the ownership limit to purchase common stock having a value equal to twice the $90 exercise price of the right, or, at the election of the Board of Directors, to exchange each right for one share of common stock (subject to adjustment) (see Note 16 - Subsequent Events).

Share Repurchases

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to approximately $1.5 billion of its common stock under a plan originally approved in 2013 and subsequently expanded, most recently in 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $50 million under the program. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $80 million under the program. As of March 31, 2017, approximately $250 million of authorization remains available to repurchase common stock under this plan.
