Stock repurchase program. The Polaris Board of Directors has authorized the cumulative repurchase of up to 90.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2020, 2.6 million shares remain available for repurchases under the Board’s authorization. The Company has made the following share repurchases (in millions):

Total number of shares repurchased and retired0.6 0.1 3.2 
Total investment$50.3 $8.4 $348.7 
Stock purchase plan. Polaris maintains an employee stock purchase plan (“Purchase Plan”). A total of 3.0 million shares of common stock are reserved for this plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock monthly at 95 percent of the average of the beginning and end of month stock prices. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 1.5 million shares had been purchased under the Purchase Plan.
Dividends. Quarterly and total year cash dividends declared per common share for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows: 
For the Years Ended December 31,
 202020192018
Quarterly dividend declared and paid per common share$0.62 $0.61 $0.60 
Total dividends declared and paid per common share$2.48 $2.44 $2.40 
On January 28, 2021, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.63 per share payable on March 15, 2021 to holders of record of such shares at the close of business on March 1, 2021.
Net income per share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”) and the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted net income per share is computed under the treasury stock method and is calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain share-based awards issued under the Omnibus Plan.
A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in millions):
For the Years Ended December 31,
202020192018
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 61.5 61.1 62.2
Director Plan and deferred stock units 0.2 0.2 0.2
ESOP 0.2 0.1 0.1
Common shares outstanding—basic 61.9 61.4 62.5
Dilutive effect of restricted stock awards0.5 0.6 0.7
Dilutive effect of stock option awards0.2 0.3 0.7
Common and potential common shares outstanding—diluted 62.6 62.3 63.9
During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the number of options that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the option exercise price was greater than the market price, and therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive, was 4.4 million, 3.8 million and 1.7 million, respectively.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance are as follows (in millions):
Foreign Currency TranslationCash Flow Hedging DerivativesRetirement Plan and Other ActivityAccumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance as of December 31, 2019$(63.3)$(6.1)(3.3)$(72.7)

Change in fair value 24.2 (13.6)— 10.6 
Balance as of December 31, 2020$(39.1)$(15.5)$(3.8)$(58.4)
The table below provides the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the income statement for cash flow derivatives designated as hedging instruments and retirement plan activity for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):
