In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

The following table provides information relating to the purchases of shares of our common stock during the three months ended June 29, 2024.

Through June 29, 2024 our Board of Directors had authorized up to an aggregate amount of $1.3 billion for our stock repurchase program. During the three months ended June 29, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under our stock repurchase program or in open market trading. As of June 29, 2024, we had $129.1 million remaining on the authorized stock repurchase program.

On August 2, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase authorization of $1.0 billion. This new authorization replaces a prior stock repurchase authorization of $1.3 billion that had $129.1 million remaining on the plan when it was terminated.

Additionally, our stock-based compensation plans permit the netting of common stock upon vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share units in order to satisfy individual statutory tax withholding requirements.
