Stockholders' Equity

In 2009, the Company's stockholders approved the 2009 Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) and the reservation of 7.5 million shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, which was subsequently increased to 25.3 million shares. The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock units, and performance shares. The per share exercise price for shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an option must be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

Upon approval of the 2009 Plan, all of the Company's other stock plans were terminated as to future grants. Although these plans have been terminated, they will continue to govern all awards granted under them until the expiration of the awards.

As of September 29, 2018, an aggregate of 10.1 million shares were authorized for future issuance under the Company's stock plans, of which 6.6 million of such shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and delivery of shares upon vesting of restricted stock units and 3.5 million shares of common stock were available for future grant. Awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights reduce common stock available for grant by 1.36 shares for every share of common stock subject to such an award. Awards under the 2009 Plan that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the plan. The 2009 Plan will expire as to future grants in January 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors approved a $200 million stock repurchase plan. The timing of repurchases made under the plan depends upon capital needs to support the growth of the Company's business, market conditions and other factors. Although stock repurchases are intended to increase stockholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares, repurchases of shares reduce the Company's liquidity. During 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares, 4.3 million shares and 6.8 million of its common stock for $146 million, $160 million and $141 million (including commissions), respectively. As of September 29, 2018, $108 million remains available under the repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors, inclusive of programs authorized by the Board of Directors prior to 2017, subject to limitations contained in the Company’s debt agreements.

In addition to the repurchases discussed above, the Company repurchased 334,000, 549,000 and 46,000 shares of its common stock during 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units. The Company paid $12 million, $17 million and $1 million, respectively, in conjunction with these purchases.
