Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

Stockholders' Equity

The Company's 2009 Stock Plan ("2009 Plan") expired as to future grants on January 26, 2019. Although the 2009 Plan expired, it will continue to govern all awards granted under it prior to its expiration date. On March 11, 2019, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") and the reservation of 4 million shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, plus any shares subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the 2009 Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and shares issued pursuant to awards granted that are forfeited by the Company.

As of October 3, 2020, an aggregate of 8.0 million shares were authorized for future issuance under the Company's stock plans, of which 3.6 million of such shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and delivery of shares upon vesting of restricted stock units and 4.4 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 2019 Plan and 2009 Plan that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan will expire as to future grants in December 2028.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors approved a $200 million stock repurchase plan and during the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase an additional $200 million of its common stock. Neither plan provides for an expiration date. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company repurchased 6.4 million shares, 0.3 million shares and 5.0 million shares of its common stock for $166 million, $7 million and $146 million (including commissions), respectively, under these plans and as of October 3, 2020, $135 million remains available under such plans. Although stock repurchases are intended to increase stockholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares and to

offset the dilution that results from the issuance of shares under the Company’s equity plans, repurchases of shares also reduce the Company's liquidity. As a result, the timing of future repurchases depends upon the Company’s future capital needs, market conditions and other factors.

In addition to the repurchases discussed above, the Company repurchased 398,000, 207,000 and 334,000 shares of its common stock during 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units. The Company paid $13 million, $6 million and $12 million, respectively, to applicable tax authorities in connection with these repurchases.
