In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $1,000 million of shares of our common stock. The timing, amount and manner of any repurchases under the new repurchase program will be determined at the discretion of our leadership based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, capital allocation alternatives, and market conditions for our common stock. The share repurchase program is open-ended and does not require us to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended, or terminated by us at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and we may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in connection with such repurchases. This new authorization replaces our previous share repurchase authorization announced in 2024. During 2024, we repurchased 24,390,240 shares of common stock for approximately $600 million.
