NOTE 5 — SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Since the inception of the Company's stock repurchase plan in 2004 through March 31, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock. Shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, and generally settle subsequent to the trade date.

Under this program as of March 31, 2022, the Company had repurchased 30.8 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $1,401.0 million and had $99.0 million remaining available. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $217.3 million of common stock under this program.
