Capital resources consist of funds deployed or available to be deployed to support our business operations.

Repurchase agreements are excluded from the table above and are disclosed separately from short-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings where we maintain the right and ability to redeem the collateral on short notice, unlike short-term debt which comprises the current maturities of our long-term debt instruments.

On March 7, 2024, Chubb INA Holdings LLC (Chubb INA) issued $1.0 billion of 5.0 percent senior notes due March 2034. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details about the debt issued.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased $316 million of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At March 31, 2024, there were 25,418,520 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted-average cost of $175.50 per share, and $3.4 billion in share repurchase authorization remained. For the period April 1, 2024, through April 25, 2024, we repurchased 250,000 Common Shares for a total of $62 million in a series of open market transactions under the share repurchase authorization.

We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity securities via a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration statement which is renewed every three years. This allows us capital market access for refinancing as well as for unforeseen or opportunistic capital needs.

Dividends

We have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in 1993. Under Swiss law, dividends must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our dividend methodology.

At our May 2023 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $3.44 per share, or CHF 3.09 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on May 17, 2023, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.86 per share after the general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board determines the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2024 annual general meeting, and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion. The four quarterly installments each of $0.86 per share were distributed by the Board as expected. The annual dividend approved in May 2023 represented a $0.12 per share increase ($0.03 per quarter) over the prior year dividend.
