Shareholders' Equity

NOTE 14 Shareholders’ Equity

Under the authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors, shares may be purchased from time to time, at the Company’s discretion and subject to the availability of stock, market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, the Company’s financial performance and other potential factors. These purchases may be carried out through open market purchases, block trades, accelerated share repurchase plans of up to $100 million each (unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors), negotiated private transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company has outstanding approval to purchase up to approximately $249 million, in the aggregate, of the Company's outstanding common stock.

During the first quarter, the Company paid a dividend of $0.15 per share, which was approved by the Board of Directors on January 22, 2025 and paid on February 12, 2025 for a total of $43 million. During the second quarter, the Company paid a dividend of $0.15 per share, which was approved by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2025 and paid on May 21, 2025 for a total of $43 million.

On June 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Common Stock Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Common Stock Underwriters”), with respect to the offer and sale by the Company of 43,137,254 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”) at a per share offering price of $102.00 for an aggregate purchase price for net proceeds of $4,315 million after underwriting discounts and fees and expenses. The Company closed the offering of the shares of Common Stock on June 12, 2025. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offerings of the shares of Common Stock and the Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the cash consideration payable under the Merger Agreement and to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. If the acquisition of Accession is not consummated, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the offerings of shares of common stock for general corporate purposes.

Additionally, as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Accession, the Company intends to issue approximately $1,300 million of additional shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock Consideration”) to the selling shareholders. The number of shares comprising the Common Stock Consideration will be determined using the $110.57 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 6, 2025.

On July 23, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on August 20, 2025.
