Note 8. Equity

Dividends

On April 25, 2023, our Board of Directors declared the 2023 second quarter cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable on June 9, 2023 to stockholders of record as of May 26, 2023.

During the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $1.00 and $0.875 per share, or $59.0 million and $54.2 million in total, respectively. In addition, we paid $3.0 million and $2.5 million in dividend equivalents with respect to vested restricted stock units during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We make annual grants of long-term incentive awards to officers and key employees under our Second Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Award Plan in the forms of service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that each have approximately 3-year vesting periods. The PSUs include the right to receive a maximum payout of two shares of our common stock based on performance goals tied to achieving a 3-year return on assets result and include service criteria. We also grant the non-management members of our Board of Directors fully vested stock awards under our Directors Equity Plan. The fair values of the RSUs, PSUs and stock awards are determined based on the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date.

In the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, we made payments of $37.2 million and $17.1 million, respectively, to tax authorities on our employees’ behalf for shares withheld related to net share settlement of vested restricted stock units.

The following is a summary of changes in our unvested RSUs and PSUs during the first quarter of 2023:

On July 26, 2022, our Board of Directors amended our share repurchase program to increase the repurchase authorization to $1.0 billion. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, does not have a specific expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchased and subsequently retired shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. As of March 31, 2023, we had remaining authorization under the program to repurchase $641.8 million of our common stock. We repurchase shares through open market purchases and transactions structured through investment banking institutions under plans relying on Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.

Pension and postretirement benefit plan adjustments are net of taxes of $1.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in our income tax provision as obligations under our pension and postretirement plans are settled.
