Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreements

In February 2024, as part of our share repurchase program, we entered into separate accelerated share repurchase agreements with Deutsche Bank AG and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively, the "Counterparties") to repurchase $3.2 billion of common stock in aggregate. The total number of shares of our common stock repurchased under the agreements was approximately 9.3 million, at $344.98 per share. The per share amount was calculated based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock over the term of the agreements, less a discount.
