STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Repurchases of Common Stock
During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, we repurchased 5.7 million shares of our common stock in open market purchases for $2.7 billion.
The total remaining authorization for future common stock repurchases under our share repurchase program was $7.3 billion as of September 29, 2024. In October 2024, subsequent to our third quarter, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of $3.0 billion to our share repurchase program, increasing our total authorization of the current program to $10.3 billion for future purchases. As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings.
Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $2.3 billion ($9.45 per share) during the nine months ended September 29, 2024. In October 2024, subsequent to our third quarter, we authorized a fourth quarter 2024 dividend payment of $3.30 per share, an increase of $0.15 per share over our third quarter 2024 dividend of $3.15 per share.
The total amount of dividends declared may differ from the total amount of dividends paid during a period due to the timing of dividend-equivalents paid on RSUs and PSUs. These dividend-equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and are paid upon the vesting of the RSUs and PSUs, which primarily occurs in the first quarter each year.
