STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

In January 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2018 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2018 Authorization have become treasury shares.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2018, we repurchased 2,352,145 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2018 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $504.3 million through open market transactions.

As of November 30, 2018, total shares repurchased under the 2018 Authorizations are as follows:
