TREASURY STOCK TREASURY STOCK
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6.8 million and 4.9 million shares of treasury stock outstanding with a cost of $362.9 million and $234.4 million, at a weighted average cost per share of $53.18 and $47.86, respectively.
On December 7, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2022. The price and timing of any future purchases under the share repurchase program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.
On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a $125.0 million accelerated share repurchase ("2022 ASR") and received 1.48 million shares of Company common stock at inception of the 2022 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. On March 24, 2022, the early exercise provision under the 2022 ASR was exercised by 2022 ASR counterparty. Upon settlement of the 2022 ASR on March 24, 2022, the Company received an additional 0.46 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the 2022 ASR.
On April 26 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2024. This stock repurchase authorization replaces the previous $225 million stock repurchase authorization, of which $100 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement, and which was otherwise set to expire on December 31, 2022. Purchases may be affected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.
