Stock repurchases
In each of January 2021 and November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock. The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which these authorizations would expire. Shares repurchased under these authorizations become treasury shares.
For the six months ended August 31, 2024, we repurchased 1,778,281 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2021 Authorization through open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $449.2 million.
As of August 31, 2024, total shares repurchased under our board authorizations are as follows:
